Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project studies the role of handicaps in economic competition such as rank-order tournaments where the winner is determined by the relative performance level of each competitor. Specifically, the project has looked at the optimal design of handicaps by a tournament organizer who wants to have the agent with the highest ability win, and the effect of handicapping by an outsider who wants to jump on a band wagon through the provision of pecuniary and other support to a competitor.
