This is a really cool simple paper from @bradhumphreys.bsky.social and @chengyuanhua.bsky.social . Baseball players elected to the Hall of Fame live two years longer than non-selected nominated players. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Another multivariate change point paper from Mena Whalen, Greg Matthew’s and I now live at Journal of Applied Statistics. Fun little application of the method for identifying eras in baseball history.

These findings suggest that residents may prefer sport facilities in their broader region, but not near their homes. This study offers a generalizable approach using driving-time measures and contributes to the literature on monetary valuation in Asia.

Findings indicate no significant influence on housing prices during or immediately after the event. While driving-time proximity suggested potential influence within 20 minutes of sport venues, no statistically significant effect on nearby housing prices was found.

📢 New publication in European Sport Management Quarterly!
We examine the monetary value of non-market goods, such as hosting a sport mega-event, by analyzing housing prices in small host communities.

Seriously, reporters, do better. This is a bullet point in this article: "The project would be 100 percent privately funded with public money only been recouped by the GSR in incremental property tax increases." So, not 100% privately funded. nevadasportsnet.com/sports/mens-...
