摘要：
We attempt to determine if tournaments create an intrinsic desire of agents to work long and hard even after all prizes are paid out by developing a theory of workaholic behavior. We base this theory on a model for asymmetric belief updating. In this model, agents infer their productivity from their performance rank in a tournament. To maximize their psychic incomes, the agents likely attribute their performance rank to their productivity if they win and to luck if they lose. Possessing this self-serving belief, everyone overworks in a subsequent piece-rate stage. We conduct an experimental test to pinpoint the role of tournament in shaping the bias. Our data strongly support our hypothesis that revealing performance rank to subjects induces workaholism.
