@article { , title = {Commitment in symmetric contests}, abstract = {The paper proves that in two-player logit form symmetric contests with concave success function, commitment to a particular strategy does not increase a player's payoff, while in contests with more than two players it does. The paper also provides a contest-like game in which commitment does not increase a player's payoff for any number of players.}, eissn = {1545-2921}, issn = {1545-2921}, issue = {1}, journal = {Economics Bulletin}, publicationstatus = {Published}, publisher = {Economics Bulletin}, url = {https://nottingham-repository.worktribe.com/output/1014731}, volume = {29}, year = {2009}, author = {Possajennikov, Alex} }
