Heterogeneity, Tournaments, and Hierarchies

Abstract

Tournament contracts are characterized that simultaneously elicit first-best efficient effort levels and self-selection of risk-neutral heterogeneous workers into ability-specific contracts. Comparisons across self-selected ability types are shown to be sometimes necessary to attain efficiency. Rationales are explored for not commonly observing such contracts in hierarchical organizations.
