data('athlet2')

Format

A data.frame with 30 observations on 10 variables:

  • dscore: home scr. - vist. scr., 1993

  • dinstt: diff. in-state tuit., 1994

  • doutstt: diff. out-state tuit., 1994

  • htpriv: =1 if home team priv. sch.

  • vtpriv: =1 if vist. team priv. sch.

  • dapps: diff. in applications, 1994

  • htwrd: =1 if home win. record, 1993

  • vtwrd: =1 if vist. win. record, 1993

  • dwinrec: htwrd - vtwrd

  • dpriv: htpriv - vtpriv

Notes

These data were collected by Paul Anderson, an MSU economics major, for a term project. The score from football outcomes for natural rivals (Michigan-Michigan State, California-Stanford, Florida-Florida State, to name a few) is matched with application and academic data. The application and tuition data are for Fall 1994. Football records and scores are from 1993 football season. Extended these data to obtain a long stretch of panel data and other “natural” rivals could be very interesting.
