The Superstar Effect: Evidence from Chess
The Queen’s Gambit: Explaining the Superstar Effect Using Evidence from Chess * Eren Bilen† Alexander Matros‡ September 24, 2021 Abstract. Superstars exist in classrooms and workplaces. Superstars can either intimidate others by making their peers put in less effort, or they can encourage others by inspiring everybody to “step up” their game. In this study, we analyze direct and indirect effects of a superstar on their peers using evidence from chess. We find that the direct superstar effect is always negative. The indirect superstar effect depends on the intensity of the superstar: if the skill gap between the superstar and the rest is small (large), there is a positive (negative) peer effect. JEL classification: M52, J3, J44, D3 Keywords: superstar, tournament, effort, chess *We would like to thank seminar participants at Dickinson College, Laboratory Innovation Science at Harvard, Lan- caster University, Murray State University, Sabanci University, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, University of Nebraska Omaha, and University of South Carolina, as well as, participants in the 6th Contests Theory and Evidence conference at the University of East Anglia and the 90th Southern Economic Association Meeting for their questions and suggestions.

Wc have also found that chess players all over the world are more in terested in tournament books than many publishers seem to realize. With these points in mind wc commissioned Vlaslimil Hort to write a tournament book for us on one of the strongest and most memorable events of 1975: the first appear ance of the world champion in the Yugoslav towns of Ljubljana and Porloroz. -

General Session held at Rome on April 26, 1966. Since that time the Japanese Olympic Committee has been busy planning for the event. Many of the sites to be used are completed, and some have already been used for regional games. Sapporo is a city which was constructed from the beginning with the idea that it was to be the capital of Hokkaido (formerly called Ezo). It was designed very systematically, unlike Tokyo which simply grew outward in all directions from the site of the Emperor's castle. In 1970, the city had a population surpassing one million, and it will actually be the first time the Winter Olympic Games will have been held in a city of this size. The name Sapporo comes from the Ainu, Saliporobetsu, meaning 'a river with a great spread of reeds and rushes'. It has many natural ski areas, and being the northernmost island of Japan, the weather is ideal with no problems of lack of snow during the time the Games will be held, which has happened before at Winter Games. The Olympic Village is 5 kilometers directly south of the city center, near the Makomanai residential area. Facilities for the athletes and officials are being prepared in what promises to be ideal conditions. -
