Prospect Theory and Stock Market Anomalies (2020, background): “(2008) find support for prospect theory even in situations with high financial stakes, while Pope and Schweitzer (2011) document loss aversion in the behavior of highly-trained professional athletes in a competitive, high-stakes environment.”
Emotional Judges and Unlucky Juveniles (2018, background): “Thus, researchers are increasingly trying find ways to test the relevance of models of referencebased preferences in settings outside the lab (Crawford and Meng 2011; Card and Dahl 2011; Pope and Schweitzer 2011; Hossain and List 2012).”
Expectations-Based Reference-Dependent Life-Cycle Consumption (2017, background): “Suggestive evidence is provided by Crawford and Meng (2009) on labor supply, Pope and Schweitzer (2011) on golf players’ performance, and Sydnor (2010) on deductible choice.”

Prospect Theory and the Brain (2009, background): “…professional golfers appear to be more accurate when attempting putts that would earn them a score at or over par than when attempting similar putts that would earn them a score below par, suggesting that loss aversion for hole-by-hole scores influences focus and effort (Pope and Schweitzer, 2011).”
Goal Setting and Energy Conservation (2014, background): “This paper adds to the growing body of empirical evidence of referencedependent preferences (Camerer et al., 1997; Crawford and Meng, 2011; Pope and Schweitzer, 2011; Card and Dahl, 2011) in a new context, with goals that act as endogenous and measured reference points.”
Expectations as Endowments: Evidence on Reference-Dependent Preferences from Exchange and Valuation Experiments (2011, unknown): “(5)Some recent field evidence on cab drivers’ labor supply (Crawford and Meng, 2010), effort choice of professional golf players (Pope and Schweitzer, 2009), risky choices in “Deal or No Deal” (Post et al.”
