We investigate the impact of peer competition on longevity using a unique historical data set of 144 prominent music … composers born in the 19th century. We approximate for peer competition measuring (a) the number or (b) the share of composers … on mitigating the effect of experienced peer pressure. The negative externality of peer competition is experienced also …
