Abstract

We consider Tullock’s contest with reimbursements. It turns out that the winner-reimbursed contest maximizes net total spending while the loser-reimbursed contest minimizes net total spending. We investigate properties of contests with reimbursements and compare them with Tullock’s classic contest. Applications for R&D, government contracts, and elections are discussed.
