Title: Does Okun's law suffer from COVID-19? Evidence from Europe and the US - A research note
Authors: Russnak, Jan; Stadtmann, Georg; Zimmermann, Lilli
Abstract: We analyse the effect of COVID-19 on the Okun's law relationship for several EU countries and the US. Results are based on regressions and a systematic DF-Beta analysis. Our results indicate that the year 2020 is an outlier in the Okun relationship. However, the direction of change is different in the European countries compared to the US.2023-01-01T00:00:00ZAnimal Crossing: New Horizons meets "Maslow's pyramid"

Title: Animal Crossing: New Horizons meets "Maslow's pyramid"
Authors: Benti, Behailu Shiferaw; Stadtmann, Georg
Abstract: Relying on Maslow's needs-based theory of motivation, we analyze the role of the video game Animal Crossing: New Horizons (ACNH) in satisfying needs. We use an interdisciplinary framework involving both psychology and gaming. While ACNH creates a virtual world, we highlight its role in satisfying the needs of the real person. In doing so, we reflect on the interdependence between the real world and the virtual one.2021-01-01T00:00:00ZSurvival of professional CS:GO teams: What matters? A research note

Title: Survival of professional CS:GO teams: What matters? A research note
Authors: Schöber, Timo; Stadtmann, Georg; Parshakov, Petr
Abstract: We analyse Esport data of professional CS:GO teams to shed light on the question of whether diverse teams survive longer. We also control for the prize money as a time dependent covariate. Another focus is on the liability of newness hypothesis.2021-01-01T00:00:00ZBorders in motion: An application related to the video game "Animal Crossing: New Horizons"

Title: Borders in motion: An application related to the video game "Animal Crossing: New Horizons"
Authors: Benti, Behailu Shiferaw; Stadtmann, Georg
Abstract: In 2020, the video game Animal Crossing: New Horizons was listed among the top ten in terms of revenue. We analyze the game by relying on an interdisciplinary framework of border studies. Borders can be interpreted not only in a geographical sense but also in terms of a temporal dimension as well as a cultural dimension. We highlight how the game blurs the borders between the real and virtual world.2021-01-01T00:00:00Z
