Does confidence enhance performance? Causal evidence from professional biathlon

Voigt, Jasmin; Ahammer, Alexander; Lackner, Mario - 2017

We analyze the effect of self-confidence on performance using data from top-level profes- sional biathlon competitions. Biathlon combines two independent tasks: cross-country skiing and rifle shooting. We exploit this dual nature of the sport by using weather conditions af- fecting performance...

Choking under pressure: Evidence of the causal effect of audience size on performance

Böheim, René; Grübl, Dominik; Lackner, Mario - 2018

We analyze performance under pressure and estimate the causal effect of audience size on the success of free throws in top-level professional basketball. We use data from the National Basketball Association (NBA) for the seasons 2007/08 through 2015/16. We exploit the exogenous variation in...

The older the wiser? Determinants of misbehaviour in team contests

Lackner, Mario; Sonnabend, Hendrik - 2022

We use data from top-level soccer to examine determinants of individual misbehaviour in team contests. Our estimates indicate a significant positive and non-linear relationship between a player's age and (relative) ability on the one hand and the tendency to misbehave on the other. These...

When performance melts away: Heat causes mental errors in high-stakes competitions

Lackner, Mario; Sonnabend, Hendrik - 2024

This paper examines the impairing effect of heat stress on cognitive abilities in a high-stakes setting. Building on rich play-by-play data from the National Football League (NFL) linked to variations in game-time temperature, we find that players are about 25% more likely to be sanctioned for...

Killer acquisitions and beyond: Policy effects on innovation strategies

Letina, Igor; Schmutzler, Armin; Seibel, Regina - 2020

This paper provides a theory of strategic innovation project choice by incumbents and start-ups. We show that … prohibiting killer acquisitions strictly reduces the variety of innovation projects. By contrast, we find that prohibiting other … acquisitions only has a weakly negative innovation effect, and we provide conditions under which the effect is zero. Furthermore …
