SUMMARY:ROSES: James Reade\, University of Reading
DESCRIPTION:“On away fans at football matches”\, work with Brad Humphreys\, Dominik Schreyer and Carl Singleton \nAbstract: The number of people watching a sporting event has long held significant interest for economists. Although imperfect\, it is a measure of the demand for a peculiar type of good or service — a sporting event. It also provides some measure of the extent of social pressure exerted on the individuals performing. That pressure can be supportive\, but it can also contribute to negative outcomes like choking on the part of performers. The extent to which a crowd is supportive or otherwise\, however\, is usually quite hard to be sure of. While in many contexts\, such as for example many team sports in North America\, the attendance may safely be categorised as entirely supporting the home team\, this is not necessarily the case in some European contexts. One such context is English football\, where historically fans have travelled often significant distances to observe their team.Does it matter for measurable outcomes if a non-trivial proportion of the attendance at a match vocally supports the visiting\, or ‘away’\, team? Additionally\, can more be understood about the motivations of people to attend sporting events by better characterising their team allegiance? \nSince the 1970s\, these ‘home’ and ‘away’ fans have been segregated into different parts of the stadium in the top four divisions. In this paper we introduce a novel dataset detailing reported numbers of away fans at matches in England over recent years. We spend time characterising the dataset\, and considering potential uses for it. One such example might be an evaluation of the public resource impact of significant numbers of fans travelling significant distances at particular points in the week\, and another might be the environmental impact. We then perform some exploratory analysis\, considering some basic explanatory variables for attendances disaggregated into home and away contingents\, and we also look at a basic question of concern to football fans\, and one considered in the literature previously: to what extent does fan presence influence outcomes? We consider a slight twist\, by considering whether the likelihood of an away win is influenced by the number of away fans in attendance. \nWe find evidence of different preferences for home vs away fans; for home fans\, the population of the visiting team’s local area is irrelevant\, while for away fans the population of the home team’s local area is important. For away fans\, whether or not the team remains in contention for any of the end-of-season prizes matters much more than for home fans\, reflecting the greater cost of attending away matches. We find some evidence that the number of away fans may have a small impact on match outcomes. \nMS Teams link to join. \n

DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to invite you to a Roundtable on gender-based violence in South Africa at the University of the Witwatersrand on September 14\, 2022. \nThe event will be hosted by the University of the Witwatersrand which is celebrating 100 years of ground-breaking research that have changed Africa for the better. This event contributes to the celebrations by perpetuating academic excellence on such an important topic as gender-based violence. \nThis Roundtable aims at discussing the recent trend in gender-based violence in South Africa from the perspective of a wide spectrum of key actors. These discussions will highlight past experiences\, existing challenges\, and research avenues to make progress on our collective understanding of gender-based violence. \n  \nParticipation in the Roundtable is free\, and the lunch will be covered for all the participants. The number of participants at the venue is limited to 40 on-site and online attendance is possible. For logistical reasons\, registration to the event is compulsory. \nWe invite you to register before September 6 at midnight (23:59 UTC/GMT +2) here: \nhttps://economix.fr/en/colloques-et-worksho/roundtable-on-gender-based-violence-in-south-africa/ \n  \nThis Roundtable is supported by the research project PHC Protea “Domestic violence in South Africa: A social and economic issue” jointly funded by the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs and the South African National Research Foundation.

SUMMARY:Martin Ellison\, "The Ends of Thirty Big Depressions" (GEAR Quarterly)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Prof Martin Ellison\, University of Oxford. \nTitle: “The Ends of 30 Big Depressions” \nAbstract: How did countries recover from the Great Depression? In this paper we explore the argument that\nleaving the gold standard helped by boosting inflationary expectations and lowering real interest\nrates. We do so for a sample of 30 countries\, using modern nowcasting methods and a new\ndataset containing more than 230\,000 monthly and quarterly observations for over 1\,500\nvariables. In those cases where the departure from gold happened on clearly defined dates\, it\nseems clear that inflationary expectations rose in the wake of departure. IV regressions and\nsynthetic matching techniques suggest that the relationship is causal. \nLink: https://users.ox.ac.uk/~exet2581/30_big.pdf \nThis is a Hybrid event.

SUMMARY:Jacob Bundrick\, University of Central Arkansas (ROSES)
DESCRIPTION:Author: Jacob Bundrick\, University of Central Arkansas \nTitle: Mixed Strategy and the Money Down: A Field Test from American College Football \nAbstract: Field tests of mixed strategies have primarily focused on the play of experts\, leaving to question whether players of moderate quality adhere to the predictions of mixed-strategy equilibrium. This paper fills that gap by examining the matching pennies game using third-down play calls in American college football. Specifically\, I use the Firth logit to analyze data from the University of Central Arkansas’s (UCA) 476 offensive third-down plays from the team’s 33 contests played during the 2018-2020 seasons. Moreover\, I exploit the offense’s discretization of third-down distances to observe whether decision makers alter their tactics to play mixed strategies when conditions change. Preliminary results indicate that play types are called in a manner consistent with the equalization of success rates across strategies\, but tests of serial independence in play calls provide mixed results.
