As an individual's fatigue level increases, it becomes more costly to exert one unit of effort in the future. This creates a trade-off between exerting high efforts today to collect winning prizes sooner and exerting low efforts today to gain a cost advantage in the future. We characterize the steady state conditions for open-loop equilibrium and analyze equilibrium efforts in the presence of accumulated fatigue.EnglishContestDynamic contestFatigueCost spilloverOpen-loop equilibriumArticle10.1016/j.orl.2022.02.0091872-7468
