A survey of experimental research on contests, all-pay auctions and tournaments (2014, background): “The second reason for overbidding is that, in addition to the utility from winning, subjects care about their relative payoffs (Herrmann and Orzen 2008; Mago et al. 2014). Using a modified utility function, Mago et al. (2014) prove theoretically that status-seeking subjects who strive to maximize th”
