Extreme Points and Large Contests

Abstract: In this paper, we characterize the extreme points of a class of multidimensional monotone functions. This result is then applied to large contests, where it provides a useful representation of optimal allocation rules under a broad class of distributional preferences of the contest designer. In contests with complete information, the representation significantly simplifies the characterization of the equilibria.
