From bias to bliss: Racial preferences and worker productivity in tennis
Contemporary Economic Policy, EarlyView.Abstract We investigate the impact of differences in consumers' racial preferences on worker productivity through the example of the home advantage (HA) effect using data on wins in men's tennis from 2001 to 2020 (pre‐COVID‐19). We identify players' racial affiliation as one of five distinct groups by combining clustering and facial recognition methods.
