摘要

主场优势在大多数主要运动和级别的比赛中被普遍接受。然而，主场优势的确切原因一直难以厘清。新冠肺炎疫情提供了一个独特的自然实验，可以隔离与主场优势相关的因素，因为2020年美国职业棒球大联盟所有常规赛都是在没有球迷的情况下进行的。研究结果没有提供统计上显著的证据表明2019年和2020年赛季之间的主场优势存在差异，这表明主场观众的支持并不是主场优势的驱动因素。主队在这一局中打二垒的确有统计学上的优势。旅行疲劳似乎对主场优势没有影响，虽然主场优势在整个2020赛季似乎有所增加，但我们将其归因于小样本噪音。尽管缺乏历史先例，但博彩市场似乎对新形势做出了有效反应。关键词:主场优势，市场效率，棒球，幽灵游戏

Baseball Home Field Advantage Without Fans in the Stands

Home field advantage is universally accepted across most major sports and levels of competition. However, exact causes of home field advantage have been difficult to disentangle. The COVID-19 pandemic offers a unique, natural experiment to isolate elements related to home field advantage since all 2020 regular season Major League Baseball games were played without fans. Results provide no statistically significant evidence of a difference in home field advantage between the 2019 and 2020 seasons, evidence that home crowd support is not a driver of home field advantage. There does appear to be a statistical advantage by the home team batting second in the inning. Travel fatigue seems to have no impact on home field advantage, and while home field advantage seems to increase throughout the 2020 season, we chalk that up to small sample noise. Despite lacking historical precedence, betting markets seemingly respond efficiently to the new home conditions. Keywords: home field advantage, market efficiency, baseball, ghost games
