How uncertainty and ambiguity in tournaments affect gender differences in competitive behavior
Balafoutas, Loukas; Davis, Brent J.; Sutter, Matthias - 2017
uncertainty affects work performance and willingness to compete in the field, it can be studied in a controlled lab experiment. We … present a novel experiment where subjects can compete against each other, but where the number of winners is either uncertain … experiments on gender differences in competition may have measured a lower bound of differences between men and women. …
