Sorting into Contests: Evidence from Production Contracts∗
In this paper we investigate sorting patterns among chicken contract producers. We show that the sub-game perfect Nash equilibrium of this contracting game reveals a positive sorting where higher ability producers sort themselves into contracts to grow larger chickens and lower ability types sort themselves into contracts to grow smaller birds. We also show that eliciting this type of sorting b...
متن کاملAsymmetric all-pay contests with heterogeneous prizes
This paper studies complete-information, all-pay contests with asymmetric players competing for multiple heterogeneous prizes. In these contests, each player chooses a performance level or score. The rst prize is awarded to the player with the highest score, the second, less valuable prize to the player with the second highest score, etc. Players are asymmetric in that they incur di¤erent co...
متن کاملContests with three or more heterogeneous agents
We study monotone equilibrium behavior in contests with observable effort (bid) where three or more participants have distinct risk attitudes and the monetary value for the prize of each is drawn independently from a distinct distribution. These differences can either cause a player to drop out, that is always choose zero effort regardless of his valuation, or use “all-or-nothing” strategies wi...
متن کاملParallel Sorting on Heterogeneous Platforms
We present a method for load balancing parallel sorting on heterogeneous networks of workstations and clusters. Load balancing is achieved by exploiting information about the available throughput of the processors. First, the problem is partitioned into subproblems such that the times taken by the processors to solve the subproblems are balanced. Determining the partition involves solving a non...
متن کاملA Hybrid Sorting Algorithm on Heterogeneous Architectures
Nowadays high performance computing devices are more common than ever before. The capacity of main memories becomes very huge; CPUs get more cores and computing units that have greater performance. There are more and more machines get accelerators such as GPUs, too. Take full advantages of modern machines that use heterogeneous architectures to get higher performance solutions is a real challen...
