  • Wins, Profit, or Nothing? Decomposing Productive Inputs to Understand Firm Maximization

    Open AccessJustin Ehrlich, Joel Potter et al.ARTICLEAmerican Behavioral Scientist2026References: 15

    Traditional explanations of Major League Baseball (MLB) historical episodes (e.g., designated hitter rule introduction; lowering of mound; steroid era) tend to presume that attendance (gate demand) is positively impacted by increased league-wide offense. Previous economics studies find some supporting evidence. We employ concepts related to the relatively advanced concept of Wins Above Replacement (WAR) to test these findings. Using WAR component…

  • F1 v. IndyCar in the Technological Competition for Race-Speed Supremacy

    Open AccessJustin Ehrlich, Susan Sanders et al.ARTICLEAmerican Behavioral Scientist2025

    This note utilizes a unique shared-course natural experiment to compare speeds of the world’s two fastest full-course auto-racing formats, Formula One (F1) and IndyCar, continuously at each point of the shared course. Unlike previous literature, which estimates average speed differences across the whole shared course, the present study produces generalized additive model (GAM) heat-map estimates of speed-differentials at each point of the course …

  • F1 Versus Indy

    Open AccessJoel Potter, Justin Ehrlich et al.ARTICLEAmerican Behavioral Scientist2025References: 9

    This study utilizes a unique shared-course environment to compare the average speeds of the world's two fastest auto racing formats, Formula One (F1) and IndyCar. These two racing circuits are distinct in terms of their places of origin, where in the world they typically source drivers and hold races, and the locations of their respective fan bases. Though F1 and IndyCar, cars share several common physical characteristics, their engines, chassis,…

  • Diversity and Team Performance

    Open AccessSimon K Medcalfe, Dinesh Hasija et al.ARTICLEAmerican Behavioral Scientist2025References: 22

    Diversity can be measured in several different ways and may have positive and negative effects on team performance. We use three different measures of diversity, demographic, cultural, and pay disparity to examine their individual and combined effects on team performance in the Indian Premier League. We find that the positive effects of demographic diversity are enhanced by cultural diversity but not pay disparity. However, the complementarity is…

  • What's in a Name (Image, and Likeness)

    Open AccessSimon K Medcalfe, Justin EhrlichARTICLEAmerican Behavioral Scientist2025References: 8

    The National Collegiate Athletic Association authorized Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) beginning July 2021 allowing collegiate athletes to monetize their brand. The main channel athletes can monetize their brand is through social media as they do not have access to mass media or marketing consultants. This article examines gender differences in social media presence and its impact on NIL monetization. We find that athletes' NIL value is positive…

  • Head Impact, Concussion, and Salary in the NFL

    Open AccessBhavneet Walia, Arthur Owora et al.ARTICLEAmerican Behavioral Scientist2024References: 19

    Sport epidemiological studies have estimated cumulative head impact and concussion rates by American football position group. Meanwhile, the sports economics literature has examined National football league (NFL) player-salary variation, and sports statisticians have studied NFL player productivity. Merging novel data and methodologies, we estimate whether players in position-groups with higher head impact or concussion risk are paid a compensati…

  • Age at League Entry and Early All-Cause Mortality among National Football League Players

    Open AccessBhavneet Walia, Brittany L Kmush et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021

    An earlier age-at-entry is associated with an increased hazard-of-death among NFL players. Currently, the NFL regulates age-at-entry only indirectly by requiring players to be 3 years removed from high school before becoming NFL Draft-eligible. Implementing a minimum age at entry for NFL players of 22 years and 4 months at beginning of season is expected to result in reduced mortality. What is known about this subject? There are no prior studies …
