Abstract: This article is about addiction control. Using the economic theory of labor market tournaments, the authors derive the positive characteristics of an addiction control tournament and compare the effectiveness of a tournament versus self-constraining methods of addiction control. The authors also consider the socially optimal implementation of tournaments and the role of public policy in developing the addiction control marketplace.
