Winning Isn't Everything: Corruption in Sumo Wrestling

Professor Levitt, Director of the Becker Center on Chicago Price Theory at the University of Chicago, has been named as the Harry V. Roberts Statistical Advocate of the Year, 2006, by the Chicago Chapter of the American Statistical Association.

Created in 2001, the award recognizes the accomplishments and contributions of those who throughout their career have successfully advocated appropriate and effective uses of statistics in business and the public sector.

This is one of my favourite papers by Prof Levitt. Statistics with a sense of humour.
