Hva om NCAA Basketball Tournament Lagene ble trent av Development økonomer?

årlige NCAA turneringen som startet med 64 college basketball lag, nå redusert til "Sweet Sixteen".

Det er ikke allment kjent at noen lavere seedet lag i turneringen, som måtte spille mye bedre lag, desperat råd fra ledende Development økonomer.

En Columbia Professor sa at vi allerede vet det vellykkede ingredienser for et mesterskap, bare få masse støtte for innspill til en seier. Hver av hans spillere fikk en beautfiul ny basketball, men hadde ingen insentiv til å passere den, eller skyte den.

En Oxford Professor distribuert "fredsbevarende utstyr" til laget sitt, sa at det var avgjørende for hans Good Team støttet av FNs sikkerhetsråd og G-7 for å vinne. Det andre laget flyktet i panikk, men ble erklært som vinner som standard av turneringen tjenestemenn.

En NYU Professor sa en lavere seedet hadde aldri vunnet turneringen, og han så ingen grunn til at det ville være mulig nå. Han og hans team igjen for en ferie i Cancún.

Andre Professorene som Duflo, Banerjee, og Karlan satt opp randomiserte studier som spiller arbeid. Behandlinger inkludert 3-punkts skudd, kjøring layups, plukke og roll, og videre til den åpne spilleren, sammenlignet med en kontrollgruppe holder ballen fortsatt. Resultatene var av betydelig interesse, men spillerne ble veldig forvirret prøver å huske hvilke fag å sitere og bruke i hver trykk-pakket øyeblikk av spillet. De gjorde ikke gjør Sweet Sixteen.

Hernando de Soto sa det eneste som betydde noe var eiendomsrett. Han ringte for sikker titler til hans lag land. Dette teamet forsvarte sin egen banehalvdel-domstolen vellykket, men de var tvunget til å anerkjenne andre lagets rettigheter også. Det var ikke mye scoring.

Mohammed Yunus sa det handler om mikrokreditt. Han foreslo styrke sin lagets spillere med mikrolån. Dette var en stor suksess, som spillerne forlot alle retten til å starte små bedrifter som selger øl og saltstenger på tribunen.

Til slutt fikk laget spør råd fra George Mason professor i økonomi Peter Boettke en Askepott kjørt inn i Sweet Sixteen. Hva var hans strålende økonomi råd? Vel, valgte han ikke å gi noen, men han hadde faktisk spilt og trent basketball i high school og college.

Var det over karakterisering unøyaktige? Alle kan delta i de vanlige tunge satser på denne turneringen - fyll ut dine egne parentes nedenfor for å avgjøre hvem som går videre til semifinalen og deretter finalen, og som den endelige vinneren vil bli.


What if NCAA Basketball Tournament Teams were coached by Development Economists?


annual NCAA tournament that started off with 64 college basketball teams, now reduced to the “Sweet Sixteen” .

It is not widely known that some lower seeded teams in the tournament, who had to play much better teams, desperately sought advice from leading Development Economists.

A Columbia Professor said we already know the successful ingredients for a championship, just get lots of funding for the inputs to a victory. Each of his players was given a beautfiul new basketball but had no incentive to pass it or shoot it.

An Oxford Professor distributed “peacekeeping equipment” to his team, saying it was critical for his Good Team backed by the UN Security Council and the G-7 to win. The other team fled in panic, but was declared the winner by default by tournament officials.

An NYU Professor said a lower seed had never won the tournament and he saw no reason why it would be possible now. He and his team left for a vacation in Cancún.

Other Professors such as Duflo, Banerjee, and Karlan set up randomized trials for which plays work. Treatments included 3-point shots, driving layups, pick and roll, and passing to the open player, compared to a control group holding the ball still. The results were of considerable interest, but players got very confused trying to remember which study to cite and apply in each pressure-packed moment of the game. They did not make the Sweet Sixteen.

Hernando de Soto said the only thing that mattered was property rights. He called for secure titles to his team’s land. This team defended its own half-court successfully, but they were forced to recognize the other team’s rights also. There was not a lot of scoring.

Mohammed Yunus said it’s all about microcredit. He suggested empowering his team’s players with micro loans. This was a great success, as players all left the court to start small businesses selling beer and pretzels in the stands.

Finally,the team asking advice from George Mason Professor of Economics Peter Boettke made a Cinderella run into the Sweet Sixteen. What was his brilliant economics advice? Well, he chose not to give any, but he had actually played and coached basketball in high school and college.
