| Inhalt | A contest describes a situation where several individuals compete for one or several prizes by investing resources that cannot be recovered, regardless of the outcome of the competition. Contest theory analyzes such situations with the help of economic models and game theory. Many different economic interactions can be modeled as a contest: for example, advertising, research and development, public procurement, relative reward schemes in firms, political competition, lobbying, sports, and military conflicts. Contest theory uncovers common principles underlying different contest situations, offers explanations for observed phenomena, and may guide the optimal design of contests. This course provides an introduction to contest theory. Key concepts and results are developed, and various applications are discussed. |
| Lernziele | The course gives students an overview of contest theory. They know the key theoretical concepts and results as well as their application to specific examples. |
