摘要：
This paper considers a common n-agent symmetric rent-seeking game It derives conditions so that risk-aversion and risk always decrease rent-seeking efforts These conditions hold for any regular contest success function when risk-averse rent-seekers are also prudent Under n = 2, prudence is a necessary and sufficient condition for risk-aversion to decrease rent-seeking efforts compared to risk-neutrality An intuition for this result is given based on a self-protection model
