Konrad, Kai A. (2010): Dynamic contests. WZB Discussion Paper, SP II 2010-10

Volltext auf 'Open Access LMU' nicht verfügbar.

Abstract

Considering several main types of dynamic contests (the race, the tug-of-war, elimination contests and iterated incumbency fights) we identify a common pattern: the discouragement effect. This effect explains why the sum of rentseeking efforts often falls considerably short of the prize that is at stake. It may cause violent conflict in early rounds, but may also lead to long periods of peaceful interaction.
