Risk taking in selection contests
We study selection contests in which the strategic variable is the degree of risk rather than the amount of effort. The selection efficiency of such contests is examined. We show that the selection efficiency of a contest may be improved by limiting the competition in two ways; a) by having a small number of contestants, and b) by restricting contestant quality.

Entry into the more meritocratic (i.e., discriminatory) contest exhibits two interior extrema. Other testable predictions of our model are: 1) All else equal, the more meritocratic c...
متن کاملRisk aversion in symmetric and asymmetric contests
We analyze existence, uniqueness and properties of equilibria in incompletely discriminating Tullock contests with logistic contest success functions, when contestants are risk averse. We prove that a Nash equilibrium for such a contest exists, but give an example of a symmetric contest with both symmetric and asymmetric equilibria, showing that risk aversion may lead to multiple equilibria. Sy...
