• A survey of experimental research on contests, all-pay auctions and tournaments (2014, background): “…for the prize of zero also exert higher efforts for the positive monetary prize of 120 (correlation coefficient of 0.38).2 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).”
