The allocation process is decomposed in four dimensions: lower bounds, sport performance, economic performance, and broadcasting performance. For each dimension, we compare the allocation suggested by La Liga with other alternatives grounded on the fair allocation literature. Based on our analysis, we argue that the allocation process implemented by La Liga could be modified in meaningful ways, while still obeying regulation measures.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101182,"journal":{"name":"Sports Economics Review","volume":"1 ","pages":"Article 100005"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50191637","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We show that a maximum effort constraint is always efficient for increasing the designer's utility, namely, effort maximization under competitive balance.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101182,"journal":{"name":"Sports Economics Review","volume":"1 ","pages":"Article 100004"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50191636","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
