Abstract Biases in legal decision-making are difficult to identify as type II errors (wrongful acquittals) hardly observable and I convictions) only observed for the subsample of subsequently exonerated convicts. Our data on first German soccer league allow us classify each referee decision accurately correct, error or error. The potential bias we interested is favoritism toward clubs with higher long-term status, proxied by ranking all-time table at beginning session membership. Higher status benefit largely from fewer errors. By contrast, actual strength has no impact decisions. We find difference suggest anticipation a explanation difference. investigate several mechanisms potentially underlying our results; including career concerns social pressure (JEL J00, M51, D81, D83).
