Abstract

Ski jumping competitions involve subjective evaluations by judges from different countries. This may lead to nationalistic bias, according to which judges assign higher scores to their compatriots. To test this claim empirically, we exploit within-performance variation of scores from all World Cup, World Championship, and Olympic Games competitions between the 2010/11 and 2016/17 seasons. Our findings confirm that judges assign significantly higher scores to their compatriots. The magnitude of this nationalistic bias is significantly higher in more corrupt countries. We do not find that judges assign significantly different scores to jumpers whose compatriots are present on the judging panel.

国际滑雪专家的民族主义偏见：来自专业滑雪运动员的证据

跳台滑雪比赛涉及来自不同国家的裁判的主观评价。这可能会导致民族主义偏见，根据这种偏见，法官会给他们的同胞打分更高。为了实证检验这一说法，我们利用了2010/11赛季至2016/17赛季期间所有世界杯、世锦赛和奥运会比赛的成绩差异。我们的研究结果证实，法官给他们的同胞打分要高得多。在腐败程度更高的国家，这种民族主义偏见的程度要高得多。我们没有发现裁判会给那些有同胞在场的跳投选手明显不同的分数。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
