We provide identification results for a broad class of learning models in which continuous outcomes depend on three … estimator exhibits good finite-sample properties. Finally, we illustrate our approach with an application to ability learning in … the context of occupational choice. Our results point to substantial ability learning based on realized wages. …

We utilize a laboratory experiment to compare effort provision under optimal tournament contracts with different distributions of prizes which motivate agents to compete to be first, avoid being last, or both. We find that the combined tournament contract incorporating both incentives at the top...
