"PENALTY KICKS IN SOCCER:
AN ALTERNATIVE METHODOLOGY FOR TESTING
MIXED-STRATEGY EQUILIBRIA."
A cargo de Germán Coloma (UCEMA)

(Cienciano campeón de la Recopa 2004)

RESUMEN
This paper uses the model proposed by Chiappori, Levitt and Groseclose (2002) to
test for mixed-strategy Nash equilibria in a game between a kicker and a
goalkeeper, in a situation of a soccer penalty kick. The main contribution of this
paper is to develop an alternative testing methodology, based on the use of a
simultaneous-equation regression approach that directly tests the equilibrium
conditions. Using the same data than Chiappori, Levitt and Groseclose we find
similar results than them, and we are also able to separately analyze
the behavior of different types of players (classified according to the foot that
they use to kick the ball, and to the strategies that they choose to mix).
