Die Berechnung des Siegers: Marktwert, Ungleichheit, Diversität und Routine als Einflussfaktoren auf die Leistung professioneller Fußballteams

Vermarktlichung und Globalisierung haben den Profifußball und die Zusammensetzung von Mannschaften fundamental verändert. Vor dem Hintergrund der veränderten Rahmenbedingungen untersucht der Beitrag, in welchem Maße (a) der Marktwert einer Mannschaft, (b) ihre interne Ungleichheit, (c) die kulturelle Diversität eines Teams sowie (d) der Grad der Fluktuation im Team über den sportlichen Erfolg in nationalen ...

Parents Transmit Happiness along with Associated Values and Behaviors to Their Children: A Lifelong Happiness Dividend?

There are strong two-way links between parent and child happiness (life satisfaction), even for ‘children’ who have grown up, moved to their own home and partnered themselves. German panel evidence shows that transmission of (un)happiness from parents to children is partly due to transmission of values and behaviors known to be associated with happiness (Headey et al. in Proc Natl Acad Sci 107(42):17922–17926, ...

Perceived Personal Control Buffers Terminal Decline in Well-Being

Recent research has repeatedly demonstrated that well-being typically evinces precipitous deterioration close to the end of life. However, the determinants of individual differences in these terminal declines are not well understood. In this study, we examine the role of perceived personal control as a potential buffer against steep terminal declines in well-being. We applied single- and multiphase ...

Self-Esteem across Adulthood: The Role of Resources

It is still not well understood how and why developmental trajectories of self-esteem change, particularly in late life. We investigated the role of resources for self-esteem change across adulthood. In detail, we explored between-person differences in self-esteem levels and change in relation to resources with participants who ranged in age from 17 to 100 years. Study 1 consisted of a cross-sectional ...

Outside of the Laboratory: Associations of Working-Memory Performance with Psychological and Physiological Arousal Vary with Age

We investigated age differences in associations among self-reported experiences of tense and energetic arousal, physiological activation indicated by heart rate, and working-memory performance in everyday life. The sample comprised 92 participants aged 14–83 years. Data were collected for 24 hr while participants pursued their normal daily routines. Participants wore an ambulatory biomonitoring system ...

Structural Vector Autoregressions with Markov Switching: Combining Conventional with Statistical Identification of Shocks

In structural vector autoregressive (SVAR) analysis a Markov regime switching (MS) property can be exploited to identify shocks if the reduced form error covariance matrix varies across regimes. Unfortunately, these shocks may not have a meaningful structural economic interpretation. It is discussed how statistical and conventional identifying information can be combined. The discussion is based on ...

Funding Self-Employment: The Role of Consumer Credit

This article investigates whether self-employed households use consumer loans - in particular, instalment loans and overdrafts - to finance business activities. Controlling for financial and nonfinancial household variables, we show that self-employed households particularly use personal overdrafts significantly more often than employee households. When analysing the correlation between consumer loan ...
