How Does Stakes-Based Pressure Affect Performance? A Literature Review of the Yerkes–Dodson Hypothesis in Sport and Other Labor Settings
In a seminal paper published in 1908, Yerkes and Dodson find a parabolic relationship between pressure and performance. However, evidence for the Yerkes–Dodson hypothesis outside of laboratory experiments is limited due to issues of the measurability and salience of pressure. In this paper, we review the empirical evidence supporting the seminal work of Yerkes and Dodson. Finally, we suggest that future research could focus on free throws in the …
F1 v. IndyCar in the Technological Competition for Race-Speed Supremacy: Continuous, GAM-Estimated Speed-Differential Estimates from a Shared-Course Natural Experiment
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: Analyzing a Unique Shared-Course Natural Experiment to Determine the World's Fastest Auto Racing Format
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,…
Does Pressure Affect Performance? An Evaluation of the Yerkes-Dodson Hypothesis with NCAA Basketball Performance and a Continuous Measure of Pressure to Win
In a seminal article, Yerkes and Dodson report some suggestive evidence that increasing external stimulus may raise performance to a peak but that further stimuli deceases performance. However, evidence for the Yerkes-Dodson conjecture outside of laboratory and field experiments is limited due to issues of the measurability and salience of pressure, whether the tasks are novel or routine to the agent, and are effort or skill tasks. We argue that …

Head Impact, Concussion, and Salary in the NFL: Is There a Compensating Wage-Risk Premium
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…
Network Competition and Team Chemistry in the NBA
We consider a heterogeneous social interaction model where agents interact with peers within their own network but also interact with agents across other (non-peer) networks. To address potential endogeneity in the networks, we assume that each network has a central planner who makes strategic network decisions based on observable and unobservable characteristics of the peers in her charge. The model forms a simultaneous equation system that can …
Age at League Entry and Early All-Cause Mortality among National Football League Players
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 …

Social choice violations in rank sum scoring: A formalization of conditions and corrective probability computations
National Emissions Standards, Pollution Havens, and Global Greenhouse Gas Emissions
The present study shows that the availability of “pollution havens” can negate the effect of national legislation that tightens industrial greenhouse gas emission standards. In the perverse case, a unilateral tightening of said standards in C ountry A (a country with relatively stringent industrial emission standards) causes a representative multinational firm to emit more units of greenhouse gas in its global production. The article highlights t…
