''Existence and Uniqueness of Pure Nash Equilibrium in Asymmetric Contests with Endogenous Prizes''
( 2012, Vol. 32 No.4 )
 
 
This paper considers a contest with an endogenous prize, which is increasing in aggregate efforts of the players. Each player may have a different valuation of the prize and a different ability to convert expenditures to productive efforts. Under standard assumptions in the literature, we prove that there exists a unique pure Nash equilibrium in asymmetric contests with endogenous prizes.
