報告タイトル：Affirmative action, competitive intensity and effort: Evidence from the Japanese boat race
要旨：
Japanese professional boat racing is one of the few sports that allows men and women to compete on an equal footing, though the gender balance is skewed in favor of men. The Japanese Speedboat Racing Association randomly assigns racers into single-sex and mixed-sex races and implemented a policy requiring the minimum weight for male racers to be raised to 52kg from 51kg after November 1, 2020. The randomization and the exogenous policy shock enable us to shed light on affirmative action policy and explore the relationship between competitive intensity and effort. Using over 1.5 million racer-race observations from January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2022, we find that (1) shifting from single-sex to mixed-sex races decreases the effort of all male and only middle- and low-ability female racers; (2) the policy change mitigates the discouragement effect on efforts of middle- and low-ability female racers when shifting from single-sex to mixed-sex races, whereas has no effect on male racers. Overall, our empirical evidence suggests that affirmative action can promote the efforts of female racers on average.
第２セッション：16:30～17:45
報告者：関西学院大学 黒川博文先生
発表言語：日本語
報告タイトル： The Impact of Gender and Group Identity on Willingness to Compete (with Hiroko Okudaira, Yusuke Kinari, and Fumio Ohtake)
要旨：
Group identity is known to influence human behavior, but the impact of multiple group identities on behavior is not well-understood. In this study, we investigate how group identity affects willingness to compete when added to gender identity, which plays a significant role in willingness to compete. Initially, participants’ group identities are induced by the minimal group paradigm. Subsequently, we create pairs consisting of one male and one female and elicit willingness to compete under the following three conditions: a control condition where the identity of the competitive partner’s group is not specified, an ingroup condition where the competitive partner belong to the same group, and an outgroup condition where the competitive partner belong to a different group. Overall, the willingness to compete with the outgroup over the ingroup is observed. Specifically for men, it is found, in comparison to the control group, that they tend to avoid competition with the ingroup women.
