摘要

国家橄榄球联盟的常规赛并不同等重要：在决定一支球队晋级季后赛的机会方面，有些比赛比其他比赛更重要。我们开发了一种基于激励的衡量方法，来衡量赢得比赛对球队出线概率的影响，以研究赌注和伤病之间的关系。我们发现，在一场胜利确保一支球队获得季后赛席位的比赛中，球队患脑震荡的可能性要高出24个百分点。这是第一个支持风险升级假说的证据，即伤病随着比赛的利害关系而增加。然后我们讨论运动损伤预防的意义。

Sports injuries and game stakes: Concussions in the National Football League

The National Football League's regular-season games are not of equal importance: some games loom larger than others for determining a team's chance to qualify for the playoffs. We develop an incentive-based measure of the impact of winning a game on a team's qualification probability to study the relationship between stakes and injuries. We find teams are 24 percentage points more likely to suffer concussions in games where a win secures one team a playoff berth. This is the first evidence to support the risk-escalation hypothesis that injuries increase with a competition's stakes. We then discuss implications for sports injury prevention.
