Journal of Economic Theory, 2012 This paper presents a strategic model of risk-taking behavior in contests. Formally, we analyze an n-player winner-take-all contest in which each player decides when to stop a privately observed Brownian Motion with drift.

European Economic Review, 2004 Why is there delay in contests? In this paper we follow and extend the line of reasoning of Carl von Clausewitz to explain delay. For a given contest technology, delay may occur if there is an asymmetry between defense and attack, if the expected change ...

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2005 We study the optimal design of organizations under the assumption that agents in a contest care about their relative position. A judicious definition of status categories can be used by a principal in order to influence the agents’ performance.

Rule of Law : Contesting and Contested [PDF]
Central European Journal of Comparative Law, 2021 The rule of law has become a watchword in international politics over the last few decades. It has been transformed from a descriptum into a prescriptum, a criterion for judging legal orders, transferred from the legal to the political sphere. For Hungary, its impact coincided with the dissolution of the Soviet empire and the advance of globalization ...

Conceptualising Contestability [PDF]
Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction, 2021 As the use of algorithmic systems in high-stakes decision-making increases, the ability to contest algorithmic decisions is being recognised as an important safeguard for individuals. Yet, there is little guidance on what 'contestability'--the ability to contest decisions--in relation to algorithmic decision-making requires.

Debats. Revista de cultura, poder i societat, 2023 ‘Contestation’ is a term often used to describe various kinds of conflict in 21st-Century urban areas.

We argue that the concept of‘contested territories of culture’ plays a key role in the informal construction of urban areas ...

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2018 AbstractWe develop a model of contests on networks. Each player is connected to a set of contests and exerts a single effort to increase the probability of winning each contest to which she is connected. We explore how behavior is shaped by the pattern of interactions and characterize the networks that tend to induce greater effort; in particular, we ...

Public Choice, 2006 We study ex post outsourcing of production in an imperfectly discriminating con- test, interpreted here as a research tournament or a procurement contest for being awarded some production contract. We find that the possibility of outsourcing increases competition between the contestants, leading to higher total contest effort, if the contest winner is ...
