Abstract
⺠We review stochastic, axiomatic, and other micro-foundations of contest functions. ⺠We discuss how different foundations guide applications of various contest functions. ⺠We find ratio-form contest having broad support among various theoretical foundations. ⺠We also discuss salient issues relevant to empirically estimating contest functions.
