摘要

一个国家的收入不平等是否会影响其公民对休闲平等的追求?为了回答这个问题，这封信调查了2006-18年期间欧洲男子足球竞争平衡对球迷需求(体育场上座率)的影响，并根据各国收入不平等程度将联赛分成了几组。在收入不平等程度最低的国家，竞争平衡对体育场上座率有显著的负面影响，在收入不平等程度最高的国家和整个样本中，竞争平衡对体育场上座率有显著的积极影响。研究结果表明，在休闲时，欧洲球迷寻求的是本国经济无法提供的平等。

Does a country’s income inequality affect its citizens’ quest for equality in leisure? Evidence from European men’s football

Does a country’s income inequality affect its citizens’ quest for equality in leisure? To answer this question, the letter investigates the impact of competitive balance on fan demand (stadium attendance) in European men’s football over the 2006-18 period, splitting leagues into groups depending on their country’s income inequality. Competitive balance has a significant negative impact on stadium attendance in countries with lowest income inequality and a significant positive impact in countries with highest income inequality and the whole sample. Findings suggest that, in leisure, European football fans look for the (in)equality their national economy does not offer.
