    Sequential Specification Tests to Choose a Model: A Change-Point Approach

    Full text link
    Researchers faced with a sequence of candidate model specifications must often choose the best specification that does not violate a testable identification assumption. One option in this scenario is sequential specification tests: hypothesis tests of the identification assumption over the sequence. Borrowing an idea from the change-point literature, this paper shows how to use the distribution of p-values from sequential specification tests to estimate the point in the sequence where the identification assumption ceases to hold. Unlike current approaches, this method is robust to individual errant p-values and does not require choosing a test level or tuning parameter. This paper demonstrates the method's properties with a simulation study, and illustrates it by application to the problems of choosing a bandwidth in a regression discontinuity design while maintaining covariate balance and of choosing a lag order for a time series model

    Sales has gradually gained traction in the sport management programs over the past 15 years. This article examines the extent to which client-based experiential projects are used in sport sales courses and determines if teaching practices are different in client-based and non-client-based courses. Online survey responses were received from 36 of 85 sport management programs that offer a sport sales course. Results indicated that 58.3% of sport sales courses utilized a client-based experiential sales project. The sports properties that partner with sales classes the most are college athletics, minor league teams, and Big Five professional sports teams. Clients provided students with leads in 55% of the projects. The most popular organizational model was the independent model, which was employed by 70% of the courses engaging in a client-based project, followed by the on-campus and in-venues models. Client-based courses were more likely to use mock sales calls, guest speakers, and the Sales Huddle game. Implications for teaching client-based experiential courses are addressed
