This paper presents an axiomatic characterization of difference-form contests, that is,
contests where agents' probability of victory depends on the difference of their effective …

We consider rent-seeking contests where the impact function, which measures how much
impact effort has, takes an exponential form. The resulting contest success function (CSF) is …

This paper analyzes the occurrence of the group-size paradox in situations in which groups
compete for rents, allowing for degrees of rivalry of the rent among group members. We …

While the game-theoretic analysis of conflict is often based on the assumption of
multiplicative noise, additive noise such as considered by Hirshleifer (1989) may be equally …

We study the optimal biased design of dynamic multi-battle team contests, in which two
asymmetric teams compete over a series of battles with a majoritarian objective. The …

The present paper analyzes multi-player contests where participants compete for a valuable
prize and their probability of victory depends on the difference between their effective efforts …

We analyze a team contest where team managers strategically select compositions of their
teams before knowing the type of members that will be more productive in the ensuing task …

The present paper analyzes multi-player contests where participants compete for a valuable
prize and their probability of victory depends on the difference between their effective efforts …
