Quit Behavior of Professional Tennis Players

Geyer Hannah


Zusammenfassung
The effect of income and performance on quit behavior is analyzed for professional tennis players. By means of players' data from the 1985 season until the 2007 season of the ATP-Tour, a stratified Cox regression shows that a higher annual prize money and better performance (measured for three different performance indicators: highest ranking position per year as well as games won and titles won per year) reduce quit behavior.
