Performance Bundling in Multi-dimensional Competitions
International Journal of Industrial Organization(2024)
摘要
In this paper, we investigate circumstances in which performance bundling can be used as an effective instrument to foster effort supply in multi-dimensional competitions between two (possibly asymmetric) players. We find that besides a beneficial cost-saving effect that is diminishing with the asymmetry across players, performance bundling can cause a counterproductive unbalancing effect, which intensifies with this asymmetry. Thus, performance bundling (pure or partial) is desirable only if the players are sufficiently symmetric. Otherwise, a set of separate contests is optimal. Our model provides a new perspective for analyzing incentive schemes in contest environments that involve competitions in multiple dimensions.
