摘要
We study the optimal biased design of multi-battle team contests, where two asymmetric teams compete over a series of battles with a majoritarian objective. The designer can impose a treatment to bias each battle contest in order to maximize the aggregate effort. With homogeneous battles, the optimal bias fully balances each battle contest, i.e., players are equally likely to win a battle, regardless of the previous outcomes. With heterogeneous battles, the history independence result collapses. Nevertheless, we propose a general program whose solution yields the optimal outcome-dependent biases. In particular, we show that the full-balance rule is not effort-maximizing generically when battles are heterogeneous. This indicates that battle heterogeneity plays a crucial role in determining the optimal biases of dynamic contests.
