We investigate overlapping contests in multi-divisional organizations in which an individual's effort simultaneously determines the outcome of several contests on different hierarchical levels. We show that individuals in smaller units are advantaged in the grand (organization-wide) contest for...

We examine a rent-seeking contest by teams, where team members can sabotage their teammates. In this setting, the … effective effort (the effort level discounted by the sabotaged level) determines a team's winning probability and the shares of … interestingly interpreted from the team managers' viewpoint …

In this paper, we study N-player Colonel Blotto games with incomplete information about battlefield valuations. Such games arise in job markets, research and development, electoral competition, security analysis, and conflict resolution. For M ≥ N + 1 battlefields, we identify a Bayes-Nash...
