Here's what caught my eye in research over the past week (which was relatively quiet, it seems):
- Hua and Humphreys find that Baseball Hall of Fame election causes players to live about two years longer than nominated players who are never elected to the Hall of Fame, which they interpret as evidence that higher socioeconomic status causes improvements in health
- Whelan (open access) develops a theoretical model that shows that the presence of bettors with inside information reduces odds but does not necessarily exacerbate favourite-longshot bias in sports betting
