• A survey of experimental research on contests, all-pay auctions and tournaments (2014, background): “Recently, several laboratory experiments have examined different conflict resolution mechanisms including side-payments (Kimbrough and Sheremeta 2013, 2014) and random devices (Kimbrough et al. 2013, 2014).”
• Resource Allocation Contests: Experimental Evidence (2013, unknown): “Another striking feature of the data is that on average the number of purchased tickets is significantly lower than the risk-neutral Nash prediction of 54 tickets (i. contests (Dechenaux et al., 2012; Sheremeta, 2013).”
• Behavior in Group Contests: A Review of Experimental Research (2015, unknown): “First, it is well documented that people behave overly competitive even in simple contests between individuals (Sheremeta, 2013, 2015).”

• Groups Make Better Self-Interested Decisions (2012, background): “as well (Kocher and Sutter 2005; Kocher, Strauss, and Sutter 2006; Sutter 2005). Kocher and Sutter (2005) fi nd that groups think one step ahead of individuals, leading them to quicker convergence towards equilibrium play, as is shown in”
