| Research Type | Theoretical | We provide a game-theoretic analysis of such information disclosure schemes as they apply to two common models of contests: (a) simple contests, wherein contestants decisions concern only their participation; and (b) Tullock contests, wherein contestants choose the effort levels to expend. For each of these we analyze and characterize the equilibrium strategy, and exhibit the potential beneļ¬ts of information design. |

| Pseudocode | No | The paper does not contain structured pseudocode or algorithm blocks. |
| Open Source Code | No | The paper does not provide any concrete access information (e.g., specific repository link, explicit code release statement) for source code. |
| Open Datasets | No | The paper describes theoretical examples with defined parameters and distributions (e.g., "three homogeneous agents and a prize M = 0.6", "f(x) = 1 for 0 x 1", "c1 = 0.1 with probability 0.12 and c2 = 0.9 with probability 0.88"), but it does not use or provide concrete access information for a publicly available or open dataset. |
| Dataset Splits | No | The paper does not provide specific dataset split information (exact percentages, sample counts, citations to predefined splits, or detailed splitting methodology) as it deals with theoretical models and not empirical data. |
| Hardware Specification | No | The paper does not provide specific hardware details (exact GPU/CPU models, processor types, or memory amounts) used for running its analyses, as the work is theoretical. |
| Software Dependencies | No | The paper does not provide specific ancillary software details (e.g., library or solver names with version numbers) needed to replicate the theoretical analysis. |
| Experiment Setup | No | The paper discusses parameters for its theoretical models (e.g., prize M, costs c, probability distributions f(x)), but these are not experimental setup details like hyperparameters or system-level training settings for an empirical study. |
