Tournament Rewards and Risk Taking∗
In a tournament, a principal sets a prize, and several agents then compete to attain the highest observed output, and win the prize. This paper departs from the existing literature on tournaments by assuming that agents can influence the spread of their distribution of output, in addition to the mean. We ask in which way risk taking and effort interacts in equilibrium. First, under standard tou...
متن کاملHeavy Tails of Ols
Suppose the tails of the noise distribution in a regression exhibit power law behavior. Then the distribution of the OLS regression estimator inherits this tail behavior. This is relevant for regressions involving nancial data. We derive explicit nite sample expressions for the tail probabilities of the distribution of the OLS estimator. These are useful for inference. Simulations for medium ...
متن کاملFrom light tails to heavy tails through multiplier
Let X and Y be two independent nonnegative random variables, of which X has a distribution belonging to the class L(γ ) or S(γ ) for some γ ≥ 0 and Y is unbounded. We study how their product XY inherits the tail behavior of X. Under some mild technical assumptions we prove that the distribution of XY belongs to the class L(0) or S(0) accordingly. Hence, the multiplier Y builds a bridge between ...
متن کاملHeavy Tails and Mixed Distribution Hypothesis
We outline the Mixed Distribution Hypothesis as a means to explain heavy tails in ...nancial time series. We discuss the hypothesis’ historical roots, and fully present the most popular, and original, form of the hypothesis and its implications for modeling asset returns. Original contributions and modern extensions are cited.
متن کاملTCP Congestion Control and Heavy Tails
Long-range dependence has been observed in many recent Internet traffic measurements. Previous studies have shown that there is a close relationship between heavy-tailed distribution of various traffic parameters and the long-range dependent property. In this paper, we use a simple Markov chain model to argue that when the loss rate is relatively high, TCP’s adaptive congestion control mechanis...
