Kocher, Auteur ; Marc V. Lenz, Auteur ; Matthias Sutter, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : pp.1585-1591 Note générale : Management Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Tournament First-mover advantage Psychological pressure field experiment Soccer Penalty shootouts Résumé : Dynamic competitive settings may create psychological pressure when feedback about the performance of competitors is provided before the end of the competition. Such psychological pressure could produce a first-mover advantage, despite a priori equal winning probabilities. Using data from a randomized natural experiment—penalty shootouts in soccer—we reexamine evidence by Apesteguia and Palacios-Huerta [Apesteguia J, Palacios-Huerta I (2010) Psychological pressure in competitive environments: Evidence from a randomized natural experiment. Amer. Econom. Rev. 100(5):2548–2564]. They report a 21-percentage-point advantage for first movers over second movers in terms of winning probabilities. Extending their sample of 129 shootouts to 540, we fail to detect any significant first-mover advantage. Our results are fully consistent with recent evidence from other sports contests.
