Abstract:

This thesis studies promotion tournaments and hierarchy, through both theoretical and empirical means. The data set utilised through- out the thesis for empirical tests consists of a large panel gathered from a major British financial sector firm. The data set has very detailed and consistent data on job levels, which are particularly well suited for studies of transitions across levels. The thesis first investigates one main assumption of the tournament theory, i.e., hierarchy is relatively fixed, and finds support in empirical results that external hiring number, promotion into level number,

Abstract:

Alexander A. Razborov (2007) developed the theory of flag algebras to compute the minimum asymptotic density of triangles in a graph as a function of its edge density. The theory of flag algebras, however, can be used to study the asymptotic density of several combinatorial objects. In this dissertation, we present two original results obtained in the theory of tournaments through application of flag algebra proof techniques. The first result concerns minimization of the asymptotic density of transitive tournaments in a sequence of tournaments, which we prove to occur if and only if the seq

Abstract:

In 2005, Alon, et al. proved that tournaments arising from majority voting scenarios have minimum dominating sets that are bounded by a constant that depends only on the notion of what is meant by a majority. Moreover, they proved that when a majority means that Candidate A beats Candidate B when Candidate A is ranked above Candidate B by at least two out of three voters, the tournament used to model this voting scenario has a minimum dominating set of size at most three. This result gives 2-majority tournaments some significance among all tournaments and motivates us to investigate when a giv

Abstract:

Forecasting the results of sport tournaments is a topic of considerable interest. This thesis focuses on statistical modelling of football matches. The methodology discussed in the thesis stems from a cumulative logit extension of the traditional Bradley-Terry model for paired comparison data. The modelling approach includes the home-field effect and memory components that account for the current form of the players indirectly described through the fantasy football quotes. Maximum likelihood and shrinkage methods are considered for model fitting. The methodology is tested with simulation stud

Abstract:

Squash is a popular sport that is played by over 15 million people in 120 countries. Squash is a sport requiring extreme levels of fitness and skill to be proficient at. Squash being a high impact, fast sport that relies on consistency, strength and skill, players often experience stress. This stress is mainly due to the intensity of the matches, but also due to the short duration of the tournaments, which places a lot of pressure on the participants to do well. Stress in sport has been shown to be a critical component in the performance of an individual athlete as well as in team sports. Stre

Abstract:

A k-majority tournament is a directed graph that models a k-majority voting scenario, which is realized by 2k - 1 rankings, called linear orderings, of the vertices in the tournament. Every k-majority voting scenario can be modeled by a tournament, but not every tournament is a model for a k-majority voting scenario. In this thesis we show that all acyclic tournaments can be realized as 2-majority tournaments. Further, we develop methods to realize certain quadratic residue tournaments as k-majority tournaments. Thus, each tournament within these classes of tournaments is a model for a k-major

Abstract:

In this thesis, I investigate the effect of annual fund tournaments on intra-year style drift ("tournament-induced style drift") as well as its immediate effect on the fund's year-end active return (volatility). Based on a large sample of 2,194 active U.S. equity funds with a specific style from 2003 to 2014, I find the relation between style drift and tournament rank is convex, with funds appearing in the top and bottom performance quartiles having higher subsequent style drift. This finding is consistent with the convex flow-performance relation identified by Chevalier and Ellison (1997).

Abstract:

This thesis consists of three essays. In essay 1, we examine the optimal contract design in the venture capital (VC) industry when a general partner (GP) cannot commit to putting effort into an existing partnership. We show that the first-best contract, a layered debt issued to investors, induces the GP's efficient investment decision and prevents him from diverting effort from the partnership, but its feasibility depends on economic conditions and on whether the GP's ability is observed. The model suggests a procyclical pattern of investment funding and a countercyclical pattern of industrial

We explore the following generalization: For a fixed k we orient every k-subset of V by assigning it an orientation. That is, every facet of the (k − 1)-skeleton of the (n − 1)-dimensional simplex on V is given an orientation. In this dissertation we bound the number of compatible k-simplices, that is we bound the number of k-simplices such that its (k − 1)-faces with the already-specified orientatio

For example, we show why various specializations of Hall-Littlewood polynomials produce the Schur symmetric polynomials, the elementary symmetric polynomials, or the t-analogue of factorials.
