This paper analyses direct and indirect forms of dependence in the probability of scoring in a handball match, taking into account the mutual influence of both playing teams. Non-identical distribution (i.d.) and non-stationarity, which are commonly observed in sport games, are studied through...

Comparing repeated-cross-section (RCS) and panel estimators, asymptotically there is no efficiency loss using synthetic individuals. Small-sample simulations show higher efficiency of panels for static models, but RCS estimators are superior in the dynamic case, especially for larger values of...
