Scorecasting

The Hidden Influences Behind How Sports Are Played and Games Are Won

By: Tobias Moskowitz,L. Jon Wertheim

In Scorecasting, University of Chicago behavioral economist Tobias Moskowitz teams up with veteran Sports Illustrated writer L. Jon Wertheim to overturn some of the most cherished truisms of sports, and reveal the hidden forces that shape how basketball, baseball, football, and hockey games are played, won and lost. Drawing from Moskowitz's original research, as well as studies from fellow economists such as bestselling author Richard Thaler, the authors look at: the influence home-field advantage has on the outcomes of games in all sports and why it exists; the surprising truth about the universally accepted axiom that defense wins championships; the subtle biases that umpires exhibit in calling balls and strikes in key situations; the unintended consequences of referees' tendencies in every sport to "swallow the whistle," and more. Among the insights that Scorecasting reveals: • Why Tiger Woods is prone to the same mistake in high-pressure putting situations that you and I are • Why professional teams routinely overvalue draft picks • The myth of momentum or the "hot hand" in sports, and why so many fans, coaches, and broadcasters fervently subscribe to it • Why NFL coaches rarely go for a first down on fourth-down situations--even when their reluctance to do so reduces their chances of winning. In an engaging narrative that takes us from the putting greens of Augusta to the grid iron of a small parochial high school in Arkansas, Scorecasting will forever change how you view the game, whatever your favorite sport might be.

Asset Pricing and Investment Styles in Digital Assets

A Comparison with Traditional Asset Classes

By: Tobias Glas

This book analyzes the emerging asset class of digital assets. When a new asset class originates, researchers try to understand some basic questions: Can digital assets, with the flagship asset bitcoin, really be considered a serious asset class? Since it is possible to trade digital assets, does it make sense to trade or to invest in these assets? How do digital assets compare to traditional asset classes like equities or bonds? After describing basic financial theory and breaking down the digital asset universe, this book provides fundamental knowledge with respect to this young and rising asset class. It focuses on special issues like the application of technical indicators, investment styles, asset pricing and portfolio construction. Furthermore, it offers remarks and links to other traditional asset classes and describes and warns of data issues in digital asset data.

Procurement Decisions in the Airline Industry

A Real Options Approach and the Bargaining Problem

By: Tobias Rudeloff

Inhaltsangabe:Introduction: Over the last two decades, real options analysis (ROA) has become a fundamental part of project evaluation. Its increasing use in academia and corporations as well as its application to a wide range of industries make it a valuable tool in finance and accounting departments around the world. Classical capital budgeting approaches like net present value (NPV) techniques do not account for additional flexibility and are therefore a very static measurement. In addition to this, a further core factor is the strategic aspect of the investment decision. Companies often make decisions according to strategic reasons. This raises the question of how the bargaining power is divided between a seller and a buyer. Furthermore, the influence of the hold-up problem on the two involved players is analyzed. Finally, the trade surplus of the investment is divided between the seller on the one hand and the buyer on the other hand using a game theoretic approach to model this relationship. The airline industry is examined in this paper as it offers many possibilities to apply and explain the concepts of real options and bargaining in bilateral negotiations. This paper sets out to analyze the value of flexibility of an investment decision and discusses, in a second step, how the strategic power between the two parties involved is allocated. In academic literature, limited research has been done to find out about the combination of a real options analysis and the distribution of the trade surplus between the different players involved. This presents the following questions: Does an option in terms of the purchase of an aircraft have additional value in comparison to a classical and inflexible buy now decision for an airline? If this is the case, how much is this value worth and how is the trade surplus distributed between the two parties involved? Are there any hold-up problems? The following chapters will examine and answer these issues. Chapter two deals with a literature review on standard real options analysis in general and the airline sector in particular. In chapter three, background information about the airline industry is given and it is stressed why this sector is used for the capital budgeting approach. Chapter four covers the methodology that is used in chapter five. In this chapter, a case study involving the purchase decision of an aircraft is discussed using different methods to analyze the commit-now and purchase [...]

Attitudes and Attitude Change

By: Tobias Vogel,Michaela Wanke

Attitudes have been a central topic in social psychology from its early beginnings. But what exactly are attitudes, where do they come from, and how can they be modified? The overall aim of Attitudes and Attitude Change is to provide students with a comprehensive and accessible introduction to these basic issues in the psychological study of attitudes. In four parts, readers learn about how attitudes can be measured, how attitudes are shaped in the course of life, how they are changed by other people, and finally, how attitudes in turn affect our thoughts and behavior. This completely revised and updated second edition covers many recent developments and reports cutting-edge research while also addressing the classic findings and theories that advanced the field. In addition to integrating the newly emerged topics of implicit attitudes and recent models regarding the coexistence of explicit and implicit attitudes, this edition also adds chapters on social influence and resistance to persuasion. This comprehensive and user-friendly book carefully balances theoretical underpinnings and empirical findings with applied examples to enable readers to use the insights of attitude research for practical applications. Critical discussions also instigate readers to develop their own thinking on key topics.

Corporate Social Responsibility and Business Performance

Theories and Evidence about Organizational Responsibility

By: Tobias Gössling

Does it pay for businesses to act morally? This book attempts to answer this question with regard to different aspects and levels. It takes a positive position to this question and demonstrates that, under certain conditions, organizations can act responsibly and profitably at the same time. It elaborates on these conditions and provides evidence for the assumed positive relation between responsibility and profitability. The author uses analysis of the acceptance of corporate social responsibility (CSR) policies across Europe, the consequences of CSR on motivation, commitment and absenteeism; and organizational responsibility and the bottom of the pyramid to provide evidence for the assumed positive relationship between responsibility and profitability. Uniquely taking an organizational perspective on CSR, scholars and students of business ethics will find this impressive book to be a invaluable resource. Business professional will also find plenty of important information in this admirable compendium.

The Arsenal of Exclusion & Inclusion

By: Interboro Partners,Tobias Armborst,Daniel D’Oca

With contributions from over fifty architects, planners, geographers, historians, and journalists, The Arsenal offers a wide-ranging view of the forces that shape our cities. Who gets to be where? The Arsenal of Exclusion & Inclusion examines some of the policies, practices, and physical artifacts that have been used by planners, policymakers, developers, real estate brokers, community activists, and other urban actors in the United States to draw, erase, or redraw the lines that divide. The Arsenal inventories these weapons of exclusion and inclusion, describes how they have been used, and speculates about how they might be deployed (or retired) for the sake of more open cities in which more people have access to more places. With contributions from over fifty architects, planners, geographers, historians, and journalists, The Arsenal offers a wide-ranging view of the forces that shape our cities. With contributions from some of the best minds in architecture, such as Julie Behrens, Bill Bishop, Lisa Brawley, Ava Bromberg, Marshall Brown, Common Room, Charles Connerly, Nathan Connolly, Margaret Crawford, Alexander D'Hooghe, Elizabeth Evitts Dickenson, David Freund, Gerald Frug, Vincent James, Jeffrey Johnson, Michael Kubo, Kaja Kuhl, Matthew Lassiter, Amy Lavine, Setha Low, Thomas Oles, Michael Piper, Wendy Plotkin, Jenny Polak, Albert Pope, Mathan Ratinam, Brian Ripel, James Rojas, Theresa Schwarz, Roger Sherman, Susan Sloan, Lior Strahilevitz, Meredith TenHoor, William TenHoor, Thumb Projects (Graphic Design), Stephen Walker and Jennifer Yoos, among others.
