SUMMARY:Mario Lackner\, Johannes Kepler University Linz (ROSES)
DESCRIPTION:Authors: Mario Lackner (Johannes Kepler University Linz) and Michael Weichselbaumer (Vienna University of Economics and Business) \nTitle: “Can barely winning lead to losing? Evidence for a substantial gender gap in psychological momentum” \nAbstract: We use data from professional tennis to measure the causal effect of past on current performance for women and men. Identification relies on exogenous shocks to the probability of facing a contested game\, which is a previous stage of competition with strong resistance. There are fundamental gender differences: whereas men’s performance is unaffected by previously experiencing and winning a contested game\, women experience a sizeable deterioration of performance after barely winning the previous stage. This result is linked to gender differences in negative psychological momentum. Detailed analysis reveals heterogeneous effects by experience\, ability and contest progression. \nLink to paper: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3985125 \nFor link to join event\, contact James Reade at j.j.reade@reading.ac.uk

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.

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.
