Abstract

Sports leagues are traditionally considered natural monopolies. Understanding how they interact with one another is important. It is unclear how participation in a closed supra league affects competition in domestic leagues. This paper studies the effect of participating in basketball's Euroleague on team performance in national leagues. We find that Euroleague participation reduces the probability of victory by around 9% in ‘big’ leagues (i.e. those with the strongest teams). However, no significant effect was found in other leagues. A possible transmission channel is the reduction in the number of days between matches. We discuss the policy implications of this result.

超级联赛会损害国内联赛吗？篮球欧洲联赛的证据

体育联盟历来被视为自然垄断组织。了解它们如何相互影响非常重要。目前还不清楚参加封闭的超级联赛会如何影响国内联赛的竞争。本文研究了参加篮球欧洲联赛对国内联赛球队表现的影响。我们发现，参加欧洲联赛会使 "大 "联赛（即拥有最强球队的联赛）的获胜概率降低约 9%。然而，在其他联赛中并未发现明显的影响。一个可能的传播渠道是比赛间隔天数的减少。我们将讨论这一结果的政策含义。

期刊介绍： Managerial and Decision Economics will publish articles applying economic reasoning to managerial decision-making and management strategy.Management strategy concerns practical decisions that managers face about how to compete, how to succeed, and how to organize to achieve their goals. Economic thinking and analysis provides a critical foundation for strategic decision-making across a variety of dimensions. For example, economic insights may help in determining which activities to outsource and which to perfom internally. They can help unravel questions regarding what drives performance differences among firms and what allows these differences to persist. They can contribute to an appreciation of how industries, organizations, and capabilities evolve.
