Abstract
We study comparative statics in symmetric contests. No general conclusions can be drawn about the effects of varying the number of participants or the value of the prize. Replicating a contest, however, always increases the r ate of prize dissipation. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science BN. All rights reserved .
