| Abstract: | Football referees possess substantial discretion in allocating stoppage time, a decision that is comparatively opaque yet potentially consequential for match outcomes. This paper examines whether stoppage time allocation contributes to home advantage in contemporary European professional football. Using a dataset of 18, 085 matches across the 2014/15-2023/24 seasons, we analyse first- and second-half stoppage time separately. Our results indicate that first-half stoppage time is largely explained by interruptions and shows no systematic dependence on match context. In contrast, second-half stoppage time is strongly context-dependent: close matches receive more stoppage time on average, no matter whether the home team is leading or trailing. |
| Abstract: | Schiedsrichter haben bei der Festlegung der Nachspielzeit einen großen Ermessensspielraum, wobei ihre Entscheidung vergleichsweise intransparent ist, aber den Spielausgang maßgeblich beeinflussen kann. Diese Studie untersucht, ob die Vergabe von Nachspielzeit im heutigen europäischen Profifußball zum Heimvorteil beiträgt. Auf Basis eines Datensatzes mit 18.085 Partien aus den Saisons 2014/15 bis 2023/24 wird die Nachspielzeit getrennt nach erster und zweiter Halbzeit analysiert. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Nachspielzeit in der ersten Halbzeit überwiegend durch Unterbrechungen erklärt wird und nicht systematisch vom Spielkontext abhängt. In der zweiten Halbzeit ist die Nachspielzeit dagegen kontextabhängig: Enge Spiele erhalten im Durchschnitt mehr Nachspielzeit, wenn eines der beiden Teams zurückliegt. |

| Abstract: | Les fans français de football américain auront l'occasion d'assister à un match officiel de NFL en octobre prochain en se rendant au Stade de France. Ce sera une première en France, mais la NFL comme les deux autres grandes ligues sportives états-uniennes que sont la NBA (basket) et la MLB (baseball), mais aussi des organisations comme l'UFC (sports de combat) et la WWE (catch), organisent déjà depuis des années des événements majeurs dans de nombreux pays étrangers. Au menu : une « fan experience » pensée dans les moindres détails ; ce modèle américain, désormais accessible régulièrement en Europe et notamment en France, va-t-il se diffuser massivement dans « nos » sports ? |

| Abstract: | Starting from the widely held idea in Romanian football (and not only) that a higher budget is almost the only requirement for better performance for a club, our study investigates the existence and intensity of such a correlation. At the same time, we sought to deepen the correlations within club expenditures, through those related to the player roster as an expression of its value, where we expect a to see a higher intensity in relation to sports results. Due to data availability considerations, the analysis is limited to the latest seasons of the domestic championship. The approach is based on rank correlation, and the tools used are Kendall’s coefficient and Spearman’s coefficient. The results obtained con�irm expectations regarding the existence of a direct relationship between the amounts spent by a club and its position in the rankings, but the intensity of this correlation is signi�icantly lower than expected, at least at the level of total expenditures. |

| Abstract: | List Experiments are widely used across the social sciences to measure sensitive attitudes and behaviors, yet no prior study has validated their estimates against an incentive-compatible behavioral measure. I conduct a field experiment with 400 subjects at a sports card show, combining List Experiment treatments for willingness to pay, one for wolf reintroduction in Yellowstone Park, one for a graded sports card, with a Vickrey second-price auction that provides a real-money benchmark. The List Experiment estimates 26% would pay $50 for the card, compared to 22% who bid at least that amount in the auction; this difference is not statistically significant. These results provide the first criterion validity test of a List Experiment and suggest the method holds promise as a parsimonious alternative to conventional stated preference approaches in settings where survey space constraints preclude standard bias-mitigation interventions. |

| Abstract: | We introduce the concept of hierarchical adaptability, which we define as a team’s relative capability to repeatedly and bidirectionally shift between different shapes of its influence hierarchy (i.e., more hierarchical or flatter) across tasks, while the team’s formal hierarchy remains constant. We provide a first investigation of the effects of team hierarchical adaptability, proposing that team hierarchical adaptability enables teams to achieve better coordination and team performance outcomes as they move across different tasks, compared to consistently hierarchical or flat teams. Five multimethod studies, including field data of intact teams and a laboratory experiment of interacting teams, provide support for our hypotheses. |

| Abstract: | A crescente complexidade dos centros urbanos brasileiros evidencia a urgência em enfrentar a vulnerabilidade social por meio de estratégias integradas de desenvolvimento urbano. Nesse contexto, a construção de empreendimentos de esporte e lazer apresenta-se como um instrumento relevante para a promoção da inclusão social e para a transformação de territórios. Mais do que espaços destinados ao entretenimento, essas estruturas funcionam como catalisadores de convivência comunitária, segurança, saúde e bem-estar, ao mesmo tempo em que contribuem para a valorização imobiliária e para o fortalecimento da atratividade urbana.Dessa forma, o artigo contempla como a construção de espaços de esporte e lazer pode ajudar no combate à vulnerabilidade social na cidade de São Paulo, com um estudo urbano realizado na subprefeitura do Jaraguá, localizado na zona norte da capital paulista. A fim de melhorar o acesso dos jovens da periferia no esporte como importante ferramenta de inclusão social. A metodologia utilizada é baseada na análise e levantamento de dados do local, estudos de projetos de referência e estudos preliminares. Pensando na falta de oportunidades, acesso limitado à educação, pobreza, violência e desigualdade econômica, alguns dos fatores que contribuem para a vulnerabilidade social, leva muitos jovens a enfrentarem barreiras socioeconômicas para o sucesso e pode levar a um aumento da criminalidade e da exclusão social. Concluiu-se que o esporte é um fator importante na superação da vulnerabilidade e por isso este trabalho visa discutir como o setor imobiliário pode atuar como agente ativo na criação de cidades mais inclusivas, sustentáveis e resilientes, reforçando seu papel além da esfera econômica e consolidando sua contribuição para a redução da vulnerabilidade social. |
