Müller-Langer, Frank; Andreoli Versbach, Patrick - 2013
Two "order effects" may emerge in dynamic tournaments with information feedback. First, participants adjust effort …-taking). We use a randomized natural experiment in professional two-game soccer tournaments where the treatment (order of a stage …
