Altruism and envy in contests : an evolutionarily stable symbiosis

Konrad, Kai A. - 2002

Altruists and envious people who meet in contests are symbionts. They do better than a population of narrowly rational individuals. If there are only altruists and envious individuals, a particular mixture of altruists and envious individuals is evolutionarily stable.

Cooperation, competition, and welfare in a matching market

Bester, Helmut; Sákovics, József - 2022

We investigate the welfare effect of increasing competition in an anonymous two-sided matching market, where matched pairs play an infinitely repeated Prisoner's Dilemma. Higher matching efficiency is usually considered detrimental as it creates stronger incentives for defection. We point out,...

Group membership, competition, and altruistic versus antisocial punishment : evidence from randomly assigned army groups

Götte, Lorenz; Huffman, David; Meier, Stephan; Sutter, … - 2010

We investigate how group boundaries, and the economic environment surrounding groups, affect altruistic cooperation and … harm those who defect, encouraging a norm of cooperation towards the group. Adding competition between groups causes even … stronger in-group cooperation, but also a qualitative change in punishment: punishment becomes anti-social, harming cooperative …

Attention Competition

Hefti, Andreas - 2012

I present a game-theoretic model where economic competition and attention competition are interdependent. On the one hand the effort to attract consumer attention depends on the value of attention to the firm which depends on the grade of price competition among all perceived firms. On the other...

Non-cooperative incentives to share knowledge in competitive environments

Kwiatkowski, Andrzej - 2010

In this paper we study a model where non-cooperative agents may exchange knowledge in a competitive environment. As a potential factor that could induce the knowledge disclosure between humans we consider the timing of the moves of players. We develop a simple model of a multistage game in which...

Optimal Information Disclosure in Competing Contests with Capacity Constrained Players

Antsygina, Anastasia - 2021

This paper studies optimal information disclosure in competing contests with identical players. Each player faces a capacity constraint on the total effort contribution and is ex ante uninformed about the difficulty of the task to be performed in one of the contests. The task can be either...
