Does an opponent's gender influence individual competitive behavior? : a contest-game experiment

Ermira Mehmetaj

The second chapter examines the effect of an opponent's gender on individual decisions in contests. It hypothesizes that women exert more effort when competing against women than against men. Analogously, it is hypothesized that men expend more effort against men than against women. To test for the opponent's gender effect, a contest lab experiment is conducted in which participants' names are displayed to signal the opponent's gender.
