Winners' Efforts in Multi-Battle Team Contests

Barbieri, Stefano; Serena, Marco - 2021

Multi-battle team contests are ubiquitous in real-life competitions. All temporal structures of multi-battle team contests yield the same total effort, as demonstrated by Fu, Lu, and Pan (2015, American Economic Review, 105(7): 2120-40)'s remarkable temporal-structure independence. Rather than...

Dynamic Behavior and Player Types in Majoritarian Multi-Battle Contests

Gelder, Alan - 2015

In a dynamic contest where it is costly to compete, a player who is behind must decide whether to surrender or to keep fighting in the face of bleak odds. We experimentally examine the game theoretic prediction of last stand behavior in a multi-battle contest with a winning prize and losing...

Multi-battle contests, finite automata, and the tug-of-war

Ewerhart, Christian; Teichgräber, Julian - 2019

This paper examines multi-battle contests whose extensive form can be represented in terms of a finite state machine. We start by showing that any contest that satisfies our assumptions decomposes into two phases, a principal phase (in which states cannot be revisited) and a concluding...
