Thank you to all of the entrants—there were several excellent submissions. (3/3)
Aiden studies both the extensive margin (is there a game) and intensive margin (variation in attendance) and finds that sports events in Manhattan and the Bronx increased EMS response time on game days thus contributing to the research on sports and traffic congestion. (2/3)
We are pleased to announce that Aiden Powell from West Virginia University is this year’s recipient of NAASE’s Graduate Student Paper Award for his paper “Professional Sporting Events and Emergency Medical Service Response Times: Evidence from New York City.” (1/3)
