Abstract

This paper generalizes the results of Siegel (2009, 2010) to accommodate performance spillovers. More precisely, we show that, if for any player, spillover from other players' performance is independent of his own performance, and if the spillover enters any player's payoff in an additively separable form, then an all-pay contest with spillovers has a unique Nash equilibrium. Moreover, we construct the equilibrium payoffs and strategies.
