α: calibrated so average coauthorship-adjusted count equals average raw count
We analyze the effects of spite in first-price all-pay auctions. We find that symmetric equilibria of spiteful bidders increase in spite, and that spite could explain overbidding. We compare the symmetric equilibria of spiteful bidders in first-price all-pay auctions with those of spiteful bidders in second-price all-pay auctions, as well as with those in first-price and second-price sealed bid auctions (FPA and SPA).
