  I thought of the best paper title late last night. I wrote a totally crappy paper, ripping off from some economics model, for my Congress seminar. The only saving grace for the paper is the title. "Going Once, Going Twice, SOLD! The Committee Assignment Proces as a Full-Information, Symmetric, All-Pay Auction. " If you know anything about auctions, don't laugh...I know that is a stupid idea, but my knowledge of auction theory is a bit limited at this point.
