This chapter reviews existing theoretical and empirical literature on the intercollegiate and professional sports industries, including professional and intercollegiate sports leagues and the fitness center/health club industry, from a behavioral economic perspective. These represent interesting settings for behavioral economic research. In sports leagues, firm inputs and outputs are accurately measured, as is individual worker performance. Interaction among organizations in this setting can be measured, and a number of interesting regulations, like entry drafts and salary caps, generate powerful incentives. In addition, individual decisions made by customers in the sports industry, fans of teams, can be readily measured, and these decisions depend on the standard economic factors (prices and income) as well as uncertainty about an important feature of the core product: game outcomes. This has proven to be a fruitful area of behavioral economic research, and behavioral economic approaches have provided new insight into economic decisions in this setting.

However, the question remains whether they are capable of reproducing social asymmetries, including gender differences. Goal.

Using the assignment of referees to European international association football matches played between 2002 and 2016, we ask whether judgements were biased according to the legacy of the Cold War. We find that referees from post-communist states favoured teams from non-communist states, but there was no evidence of favouritism in the
other direction. This out-group bias ...

В главе рассматриваются этическе аспекты использования технологии "подталкивания" (nudge). Представлено обоснование, что сам по себе принцип технологии «подталкивания» как таковой не является неэтичным. Nudge осуществляется повсеместно и не может быть полностью запрещен на каком-либо основании. Тем не менее неэтичными могут быть конкретные практики «подталкивания», в том числе нарушающие четыре магистральных принципа, предложенных Санстейном: благополучие (welfare), ...

We shed new light on the relationship between cognition and patience, by providing documenting that the correlation between cognitive abilities and delay discounting is weaker for the same group of individuals if choices are incentivized. We conjecture that the exertion of higher cognitive effort, which induces higher involvement of the cognitive system, moderates the relationship ...

This study tries bridging between different behavioral economic explanations for the lack of support of the uncertainty of outcome hypothesis in spectator sports. We test a measure of perceived game uncertainty that is comparable to objective measures frequently tested in the literature. Econometric results suggest that fans do not perceive closeness of a game differently than how economists have ...

Most papers analyze the broadcast demand for a single league. However, professional football clubs participate in two or more tournaments simultaneously every season. Hence, the perception of fans may differ. This is a relevant topic, since television rights constitute the main source of revenue for professional football. The Brazilian football market is an appropriate laboratory ...

In the article through recourse to behavioral economics is analyzed the admissibility of the institute of discovery in international commercial arbitration. Studies in behavioral economics show that parties to a dispute tend to overestimate the benefits («egocentric bias») from obtaining evidence and at the same time underestimate the potential costs of discovery. To solve the ...

The concept of Methodenstreits is used to analyse the relationship between behavioral and mainstream economics. A Methodenstreit is understood by the authors as a dispute between the more abstract and the less abstract canons of the economic science. It undergoes several necessary stages: discovery of a new research instrument, an exaggerated debate between the canons, and mutual enrichement after ...

without a manager, so-called self-managed teams, is higher comparing with managed
teams. Thus, despite the focus on managerial efficiency in the economic literature, the
issue of whether a team needs amanager is far ...
