摘要

有证据表明，美国职业足球大联盟的指定球员规则在其首个赛季增加了比赛日的上座率，从而扩大了这一政策。然而，有必要检验这些发现是否可靠。因此，本文将DP规则作为一个自然实验，使用差分估计策略来确定其对比赛日上座率的影响。与现有研究相反，当使用差异估计量时，DP对出勤率的统计显著影响消失，但当从DP集合中省略国内DP时，可能会恢复。

The Designated Player Policy Rule and Attendance Demand in Major League Soccer

Evidence suggests that Major League Soccer's designated player (DP) rule increased match-day attendance in its inaugural season leading to expansion of this policy. However, there is a need to examine whether these findings are robust. Therefore, this paper uses the DP rule as a natural experiment to identify its effect on match-day attendance using a difference-in-difference estimation strategy. In contrast to existing research, when using a difference-in-difference estimator, the statistically significant effect of DPs on attendance vanishes but may be recovered when omitting domestic DPs from the set of DPs.
