“…In equilibrium, contests that focus on maximizing the number of participants will award multiple prizes if and only if this sensitivity is sufficiently high. Azmat and Möller (2013), in a model with binary abilities, show tat the distribution of abilities plays a crucial role in determining the contest choice. Sorting exists only when the proportion of high-ability almost never grow chickens on company owned farms.…”

In this paper, we investigate sorting patterns among chicken producers who are offered a menu of contracts to choose from. We show that the sorting equilibrium reveals a positive sorting where higher ability producers self-select themselves into contracts to grow larger chickens and lower ability types self-select themselves into contracts to grow smaller birds. We also show that eliciting this type of sorting behavior is profit maximizing for the principal. In the empirical part of the paper, we first estimate growers’ abilities using a two-way fixed effects model and subsequently use these estimated abilities to estimate a random utility model of contract choice. Our empirical results are supportive of the developed theory.

“…Unlike in our model, contestants in Azmat and M€ oller (2009) are identical in ability and the contest success function is parametric. In Azmat and M€ oller (2012), abilities are binary. The authors show that the fraction of highability agents choosing the more competitive, high-prize contest is a decreasing function of their population share.…”

Is it better to be a big fish in a small pond or a small fish in a big pond? To find out, we study self‐selection into contests. Our simple model predicts that: (i) entry into the big pond – in terms of show‐up fees, number or value of prizes – is non‐monotonic in ability; (ii) entry into the more meritocratic pond is likewise non‐monotonic, exhibiting two interior extrema and disproportionately attracting very low ability types; and (iii) changes in rewards can produce unexpected effects, e.g. higher show‐up fees may lower entry, while higher prizes or more meritocracy may lower the average ability of entrants.

“…The largest decrease in the scope of joint motion occurs in cervical and trunk, particularly in the lateral and rotational movement of extensions. Patients who have performed surgery can often cause problems that the presence of surgical injuries to the soft tissues can cause acute inflammatory processes and the presence of oedema and fibrosis in the muscles around the joints resulting in limited joint mobility, fracture caused the onset of pain, oedema in the lower limbs area as well as Decreased hamstring muscle fufled and muscles Quadriceps that cause especially degenerative diseases and for self-actualization (self-esteem and body image) limitation of motion in the knee joint area (Mubarak, Indrawati, & Susanto, 2015).…”

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease, where the overall structure of the joint undergoes pathological changes. One of the changes that occur in the musculoskeletal system can cause mobility disorders. The impact that will occur in the elderly with osteoarthritis is likely to experience a decrease in musculoskeletal function. This study aims to determine the effect of osteoarthritis knee joint pain levels before and after exercise therapy for joint mobility. The design of this study uses a quasi-experimental method with a Pre and Post Test without Control research design. The sample in this study consisted of 30 respondents. The sampling method in this study is accidental sampling. Research data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. It is known that more than half of respondents who have osteoarthritis are in the age range of 45-59 years, which is 46.7% (14 respondents). The results showed that in general osteoarthritis pain before ROM was in the range of 80% moderate pain, and the results showed that in general osteoarthritis pain after ROM was in the range of 76.7%. Data analysis found that the p-value was 0,000 (p = <0.05) indicating that there was an effect of exercise joint mobility on the level of osteoarthritis knee joint pain in the elderly in the Posyandu of the Belakang Padang elderly. This research is expected to be able to contribute and develop nursing, as a material for making policies on psychological approaches in the form of exercise therapy for joint mobility in overcoming joint pain in patients with osteoarthritis. osteoarthritis by involving variables that affect the level of pain.
