We collected 330,180 observations of decisions by online contract bridge players whether to play another tournament after just completing one. compare the effect financial motive – desire continue playing when doing so is likely bring reward with that satisfaction cognitive induced winning tournament. find are generally more well but they less win a tournament: overcomes motive. Understanding interplay such effects crucial in increasing participation skill-based tournaments.
We contrast two structural forms of discrimination: per-unit and ad-valorem. provide a simple modification to Becker’s canonical discrimination model allowing for heterogeneous worker quality both ad-valorem discrimination. Per-unit costs reduce the relative cost minorities with higher marginal products. This insight, which builds upon Alchian–Allen hypothesis, yields sharp testable implications. argue that several features MLB labour market are consistent
