Working Papers

2024

1. Does Performance Pressure Accentuate Outcome Bias? Evidence from Managerial Dismissals
   Working Papers, University of Zurich, Department of Business Administration (IBW)
2. The proponents of the European Football Super League have switched from a proposal suggesting that permanent members self-govern their (almost) closed competition to a proposal maintaining the concept of self-governance by the participating clubs but now advocating participation on the basis of sporting merit. Can self-governance be realistically introduced at the top of the football pyramid without closing this top? The paper explains why this is not the case and how the new proposal is a closed league in disguise, which is likely to trigger the same value creation problems as an openly closed league
