Abstract

In the speedboat racing in Japan, women racers can participate and compete in the race in the same condition as the men racer do. This paper used the individual level panel data of records of the racing during the period April 2014–October 2015 to examine how the men's dominated circumstance influence women's performance in the race. The data allows us to control for various factors such as unobservable individual fixed effect, one's lean in the race, popularity, her conditions in the race, and weather condition. After controlling these factors, based on the women's race sample, we observe that the women's time of mixed race loses by approximately 0.3% in compared with that of the women's race.
