Judgement and learning of jury judges
Abstract
It has been observed that in sequential tournaments performing early can reduce an individual’s probability of winning even when the order of performance has been randomly assigned. We offer an explanation of this which doesn’t depend on extra assumptions about the psychological make-up of judges but depends only on judges’ having some uncertainty about their assessment, and that they learn. A suggestion for contest design is also made.
