Individual performance and environment: Home advantage in ATP tennis
We investigate the role of home advantage (HA) in ATP tennis (2000–2022). Our findings confirm the existence of HA with a heterogeneous effect shaped by a combination of individual player characteristics and situational contexts. Individual mechanisms reveal that less experienced players benefit more from HA, while talent does not show a significant interaction. Cultural background plays a role, with individualistic players exhibiting a stronger HA, unlike collectivistic ones. Among situational factors, the absence of spectators during COVID-19 indicates that while HA persists, crowd presence does not seem to be the primary driver. Opponent travel fatigue amplifies HA, whereas prior knowledge of the facilities has no substantial impact. These findings extend beyond sports, indicating that structured, familiar environments enhance performance and resilience in professional settings, though their effects vary based on experience and cultural background.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization is devoted to theoretical and empirical research concerning economic decision, organization and behavior and to economic change in all its aspects. Its specific purposes are to foster an improved understanding of how human cognitive, computational and informational characteristics influence the working of economic organizations and market economies and how an economy structural features lead to various types of micro and macro behavior, to changing patterns of development and to institutional evolution. Research with these purposes that explore the interrelations of economics with other disciplines such as biology, psychology, law, anthropology, sociology and mathematics is particularly welcome.
