Abstract
Using data on international speed skating events in the 2012/13–18/19 seasons, I investigate heterogeneous peer effects by gender, tasks, and monetary incentives. While peer effects do not work among men, I find evidence for peer effects in sprint races among women (500 and 1,000 meters). However, in 1,000-meter races for women, peer effects work only in events with monetary prizes. Interestingly, reducing the number of skaters who can earn prize money does not increase peer effects in 1,000-meter races among women. In hard tasks like 1,000-meter races, it may be important rather the presence than the competitiveness of monetary incentives.
