Favouritism, social pressure, and gender
研究足球裁判在补时决策中的性别差异，发现女性裁判（尤其是年轻者）更易受观众社会压力影响，在主场队需赢球时给予更少补时。
Abstract We analyse gender differences in response to social pressure. Our setting provides information on decision-making by both female and male referees towards rewarding extra time in football. The exact score at the time of the decision allows us to evaluate how much it favours the home team and, hence, pleases the audience. Controlling for in-game information that affects the length of extra time per game rules, we find that (especially young) female referees are more susceptible to social pressure and reward less extra time when the home team needs the game to end to secure a win. To confirm that social pressure from the audience drives our findings, we demonstrate that female referees tend to favour home teams more in games with high attendance.
