Politicians, Governed vs. Non-Governed Interest Groups and Rent Dissipation

Epstein, Gil S.; Mealem, Yosef - Department of Economics, Bar Ilan University - 2013

Government intervention often gives rise to contests and the government can influence their outcome by choosing their type. We consider a contest with two interest groups: one that is governed by a central planner and one that is not. Rent dissipation is compared under two well-known contest...

A simple microfoundation for the utilization of fragmentation indexes to measure the performance of a team

Le Maux, Benoit; Rocaboy, Yvon - In: Economics Letters 116 (2012) 3, pp. 491-493

We propose a simple non-cooperative game model in which two fragmented teams compete to increase their performance. The theoretical framework is based on the theory of conflict. We show that, depending on the value of a parameter in the model, the power of the competing teams may be expressed as...

Equivalence of optimal noisy-ranking contests and Tullock contests

Pelosse, Yohan - In: Journal of Mathematical Economics 47 (2011) 6, pp. 740-748

We analyze a noisy-ranking contest in which participants compete in several dimensions. The organizer randomly samples a number of dimensions and awards a prize to the most productive agent. When the contest is optimally designed, we establish a structural equivalence between this family of...
