The n-player Tullock contest with complete information is known to admit explicit solutions in special cases, such as (i) homogeneous valuations, (ii) constant returns, and (iii) two contestants. But can that model be solved more generally? In this paper, we show that key characteristics of the...

.g., a bonus package. Two sorting patterns are possible: Positive sorting requires that each team consist of players of same … caliber, while negative sorting does the opposite. We characterize the optimum with respect to relevant environmental factors …, ranging from the degree of effort complementarity in the team production process and the curvature of effort cost functions to …

In this paper we show experimentally that conditional cooperation, a phenomenon described in the private provision of public goods, is also present in group contests, where participants' contributions to their group performance partially determines if they overcome a rival group. This...

In this paper, a group contest is analyzed, where the groups are allowed to determine their sharing rules either sequentially or simultaneously. It is found that in case the more numerous group determines its sharing rule prior to the smaller group, rent dissipation in the group contest is...
