In this paper, we show that the right to determine the sequence of moves in a dynamic team tournament improves the chances of winning the contest. Because studying dynamic team tournaments – like R&D races – with interim feedback is difficult with company data, we examine decisions of highly paid professionals in soccer penalty shootouts and show that teams whose captains can decide about the shooting sequence are more likely to win the shootout. So, managerial decisions matter for outcomes of dynamic tournaments and we discuss potential reasons for this finding.

心理压力和决定动态比赛中步法的权利–来自自然场实验的证据

在本文中，我们证明了在动态团队锦标赛中确定动作顺序的权利可以提高赢得比赛的机会。因为要通过公司数据来研究具有动态反馈的动态团队比赛（如R＆D竞赛）是很困难的，所以我们检查了足球点球大战中高薪专业人士的决定，并表明队长可以决定射击顺序的球队更有可能赢得点球大战。因此，管理决策对动态锦标赛的结果至关重要，我们将讨论这一发现的潜在原因。
