Does Gender Matter? Examining the Impact of Coach Gender on Team Success: Evidence from the NCAA Division I Basketball Tournament
No full textWe examine the impact of coach gender on the probability that NCAA Division I women’s basketball teams advance to the end-of-year NCAA tournament. Results of our full sample analysis show that coach gender has no significant impact on the likelihood of advancing, providing no evidence for ability as a potential explanation for the decline in women coaches. In the subsample analysis, while we find that men coaches have higher predicted probabilities of tournament appearances in non-Power Five conferences, women coaches are more successful in the elite Power Five conferences, where they have been losing the most ground in coaching positions

An Empirical Analysis of the Status of Income Inequality New England in 2022
Get PDFThis paper investigates the status of income inequality within the New England states in 2022. The empirical analysis conducted within this paper uses a similar model within Fadi Fawaz et al. for high income countries to analyze and predict the Gini coefficient within the six New England States. More specifically, the model that is tested analyzes monthly unemployment rate, the labor force participation rate, welfare spending, and the top 1% wealth distribution. The results show that Rhode Island and Maine Gini indexes could only be described by the top 1% wealth distribution and welfare spending, respectively. We also find that a large welfare spending budget yields greater income inequality in states that have a larger spending budget, more specifically Massachusetts being a prime example. Outside of New Hampshire, an increasing labor force participants effectively decreases income inequality. Finally, we found that any directional change in the unemployment rate does not have a noticeable impact on income inequality. With limitations, we found that there is inclusive evidence that certain macroeconomic indicators can affect the Gini index within the six New England states, more specifically income inequality
Time Series Analysis of the Impact of Climate Change on the Rocky Mountain Ski Industry
Get PDFThis paper investigates the correlation between climate change and the ski industry. This study will incorporate the annual snowfall and mean temperature and annual visitations to American ski resorts. The model studied will investigate if the rising temperatures affect snow fall totals in popular ski areas as well the visitor amounts per season. This model will be used to run a multiple regression that will account for various controls including the distribution of snow fall throughout the season
Beyond the Arc: Investigating the Impact of 3-Point Shots on NBA Revenue: An Empirical Analysis
Get PDFThis paper investigates the impact of Stephen Curry’s revolution of the three-point shot and its impact on NBA’s revenues. The study will incorporate the five years prior to Stephen Curry’s back-to-back MVP’s and the five years after those MVP’s. The model will examine three-point makes and percentage per game, along with a player’s effective field goal percentage, as well as playoff wins and attendance in home games. The study’s results showed that in the five years after Stephen Curry changed the game and won his MVPs, the three-point shot was a big driver in a team’s revenue. These results do not align with previous paper’s work and should encourage further studies on the topic. The results in this study indicate that the play style of a player must include the three-point shot as the NBA is a business at the end of the day, and being able to shoot threes gives a team more chances of success, along with more money
