Equilibrium learning in simple contests
The paper studies a repeated contest when contestants are uncertain about their true relative abilities. When ability and effort are complements, a favorable belief about one’s own ability stimulates effort and increases the likelihood of success. Success, in turn, reinforces favorable beliefs. We show that this implies that with positive probability players fail to learn their true relative ab...
متن کاملExistence and uniqueness of equilibrium in Asymmetric Contests with endogenous Prizes
This paper considers contests in which the efforts of the players determine the value of the prize. Players may have different valuations of the prize and different abilities to convert expenditures to productive efforts. In addition, players may face different financial constraints. This paper presents a proof for the existence and uniqueness of a pure Nash equilibrium in asymmetric contests w...
متن کاملContests with Size Effects Contests with Size Effects
In this paper we analyze the structure of contest equilibria with a variable number of agents. First we analyze a situation where the total prize depends on the number of agents and where every single agent faces opportunity costs of investing in the contest. Second we analyze a situation where the agents face a trade-off between productive and appropriative investments. Here, the number of age...

Dirichlet draws are sparse with high probability
This note provides an elementary proof of the folklore fact that draws from a Dirichlet distribution (with parameters less than 1) are typically sparse (most coordinates are small). 1 Bounds Let Dir(α) denote a Dirichlet distribution with all parameters equal to α. Theorem 1.1. Suppose n ≥ 2 and (X1, . . . , Xn) ∼ Dir(1/n). Then, for any c0 ≥ 1 satisfying 6c0 ln(n) + 1 < 3n, Pr [∣∣∣∣{i : Xi ≥ 1...
