The Theory of the Ball Hog: Studying Strategic Cooperation through Sport

Faculty Sponsor: Pedro Dal Bo

Chelsea used the tools of statistics and game theory to examine patterns of passing and cooperation among the US national women’s rugby team. She analyzed games to better understand the outcomes of player decisions and the cost benefit of cooperation on the field. Chelsea hopes the study may offer some insight into the challenges of global macroeconomics.

Chelsea graduated and accepted a position as a researcher in the Economics department at Stanford. She is currently a Ph.D. student in Economics at Duke University.
