This paper models an infinitely repeated Tullock contest in which two contestants contribute efforts to accumulate individual asset stocks over time. To investigate the transitional dynamics of the contest in the case of a general cost function, we linearize the model around the steady state....

In this article, I analyze the effects of future liquidity constraints on the investment behavior of two contestants with asymmetric prize valuations in a dynamic contest model. Contestants compete in two consecutive Tullock contests in order to win a contest prize in each period. The loser of...
