Gender Differences and Dynamics in Competition: The Role of Luck
Gill, David; Prowse, Victoria - Economics Group, Nuffield College, Department of Economics - 2013
In a real effort experiment with repeated competition we find striking differences in how the work effort of men and women responds to previous wins and losses. For women losing per se is detrimental to productivity, but for men a loss impacts negatively on productivity only when the prize at...

The Effects of Home-Away Sequencing on the Length of Best-of-Seven Game Playoff Series
Rump, Christopher - In: Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports 2 (2007) 1, pp. 5-5
We analyze the number of games played in a seven-game playoff series under various home-away sequences. In doing so, we employ a simple Bernoulli model of home-field advantage in which the outcome of each game in the series depends only on whether it is played at home or away with respect to a...

Costless discrimination and unequal achievements in an experimental tournament
Filippin, Antonio; Guala, Francesco - In: Experimental Economics 16 (2013) 3, pp. 285-305
We investigate the emergence of discrimination in an experiment where individuals affiliated to different groups compete for a monetary prize, submitting independent bids to an auctioneer. The auctioneer receives perfect information about the bids (there is no statistical discrimination), and...

The Supermodular Stochastic Ordering
Meyer, Margaret; Strulovici, Bruno - Center for Mathematical Studies in Economics and … - 2013
In many economic applications involving comparisons of multivariate distributions, supermodularity of an objective function is a natural property for capturing a preference for greaterinterdependence. One multivariate distribution dominates another according to the supermodular stochastic...
