Competitive situations resembling contests are ubiquitous in modern economic landscape.
In a contest, economic agents expend costly effort to vie for limited prizes, and they are …

A contest is a game where contestants exert costly and irretrievable effort in order to obtain
one or more prizes with some probability. Many real-life situations comply with this general …

This paper examines a game‐theoretic model of attack and defense of multiple networks of
targets in which there exist intranetwork strategic complementarities among targets. The …

We investigate simultaneous inter‐and intra‐group conflict in the shadow of within‐group
power asymmetry and complementarity in members' group‐conflict efforts. A more symmetric …

We analyze a group political lobbying all-pay auction with a group specific public good
prize, in which one group follows a weakest-link and the other group follows a best-shot …

Competition between groups is ubiquitous in social and economic life, and typically occurs
between groups that are not created equal. Here we experimentally investigate the …

We model competition between two teams (that may differ in size) as an all-pay contest with
incomplete information where team members exert effort to increase the performance of their …

In multi-battle team contests with pairwise battles, how battles are organized—sequentially
or (partially) simultaneously—may affect the expected winner's total effort (WE), a natural …

We model competing groups when players' values for winning are private information, each
group's performance equals the best effort (“best shot”) of its members, and the group with …

Turf wars in organizations commonly occur in environments where competition undermines
collaboration. We develop a game theoretic model and experimental test of turf wars. The …
