摘要

在本文中，我们调查了美国职业足球大联盟（Major League Soccer）的竞争平衡，并将1996年至2019年人才获取政策制度的平衡与偏差校正措施进行了比较。我们评估了联盟人才分布的多个时刻，并通过使用多个级别的聚合来添加过去的工作，这些聚合揭示了赛季内和跨赛季人才分布的异质性结果。我们发现，在联盟历史上，竞争平衡几乎没有改善，尽管平衡的稳定性逐年提高，处于极端表现的球队的倾向也有所降低。

Moments of Competitive Balance in Major League Soccer

In this paper, we investigate competitive balance in Major League Soccer and compare balance across talent acquisition policy regimes with a bias-corrected measure from 1996 to 2019. We evaluate multiple moments of the league talent distribution, and we add to past work by using multiple levels of aggregation that reveal heterogeneous results with respect to the distribution of talent within and across seasons. We show that there has been little improvement in competitive balance over the league's history, though there has been an increase in year-to-year stability in balance and a lower propensity for teams at the extremes of performance.
