In contrast with Apesteguia and Palacios-Huerta (2009), we provide laboratory evidence that strictly competitive environments are characterized by a second-mover advantage. This finding is obtained in a setting, a free-throw shooting competition among pairs of professional basket players, which...

We generalize results on the monotocity of equilibria for network games with incomplete information.In those games players know the stochastic process of network formation and their own degree in the realized network, and decide an action depending on the strategic interaction in the network...
