Title: Do Behavioral Considerations Cloud Penalty-Kick Location Optimization in Professional Soccer? Author(s): Uribe, Alivia; Sanders, Shane; Ehrlich, Justin; Reade, J James; Singleton, Carl Abstract: In soccer, penalty kicks (PKs) are taken with fair regularity (~ once in four matches) and often constitute high-leverage, or game-pivotal, events given the sport’s low-scoring nature. In a tabulation of 294,970 international, professional league, and professional cup match results recorded on footystats.org, we find that 1-0 and 1-1 are the most common professional full-time match scorelines, occurring 17.9 and 11 percent of the time, respectively. These outcomes are followed by 2-1 (8.5%) and 0-0 (7.7%). Across all recorded match outcomes, average full-time goals per professional match are 2.85. In the 2022-23 EPL, matches averaged 0.26 PKs and 0.194 PK conversions, equivalent to about 6.8% of goals scored according to tabulations of data from transfermarket.com. In 2023-24, this percentage rose to 7.6%. Herein, we examine whether professional penalty-takers strictly optimize on expected conversion-rate when choosing shot location, or whether behavioral considerations, such as “looking credible” by not missing the goal space entirely, are also at play.

Title: Pluralist economics: is it scientific? Author(s): Dow, Sheila Editor(s): Decker, S; Elsner, W; Flechtner, S Abstract: The aim of this chapter is to set the scene for a discussion of teaching from a pluralist perspective by considering how we produce, and convey, reliable knowledge in economics. Using Kuhn’s framework as a basis for considering different understandings of what constitutes reliable knowledge (propagated through teaching), we focus on the different understandings within mainstream economics and within non-mainstream paradigms. Keynes’s epistemology (as developed in A Treatise on Probability) is then explored as a basis for a pluralist approach to economic knowledge. The mainstream critique of alternative approaches to knowledge, interpreted as ‘anything goes’, is addressed and the argument developed that a pluralist approach generates more reliable knowledge than the monist mainstream approach. This analysis leads to a set of positive and negative heuristics as a guide for pluralist economists as researchers. Some implications are then drawn for pluralist teaching of economics. It is argued that such teaching should include teaching by debates, drawing on history of thought and methodology.

Title: Keynes on Domestic and International Monetary Reform Author(s): Dow, Sheila Editor(s): Dow, S; Jespersen, J; Tily, G Abstract: First paragraph: Within a capitalist economy, the institution of money both enables and constrains. It enables by providing a safe asset as the basis for contracts and as a refuge from uncertainty. But by the same token it constrains by providing an alternative to effective demand, creating unemployment, and by forming the basis for a financial system which can promote inequality of income and wealth. It was to address these concerns that Keynes put forward ideas for monetary reform, to create structures which would discourage the propensity to hoard money, 'a first approximation to the concept of liquidity preference' (Keynes [1936] 1973, p. 174) and to reduce the impact of such a propensity.

Title: Green supply chain practices as a consequence of the green bullwhip effect: understanding the relationship Author(s): Seles, Bruno Michel Roman Pais; Jabbour, Ana Beatriz Lopes de Sousa; Dangelico, Rosa Maria; Jabbour, Charbel Jose Chiappetta Abstract: This article aimed to understand and analyze how different institutional pressures created by different stakeholders tend to promote the green bullwhip effect and consequent adoption of green supply chain management practices across a supply chain. Based on case study methodology, the relationship between a focal company in the automotive battery supply chain in Brazil and its primary stakeholders was analysed.
