Een prikkelend antidopingvoorstel voor de wielersport
Get PDFHet gebruik van doping in de wielersport is bijna onuitroeibaar. En het huidige antidopingbeleid dat gebaseerd is op opsporing en straffen lijkt daar geen verandering is te brengen. Volgens de Groningse (sport)econoom Ruud Koning is logischer om te kijken naar prikkels die doping geen aantrekkelijk alternatief maken. Een oplossing is om prijzengeld en salaris in de vorm van een pensioen uit te keren als blijkt dat tijdens de carrière geen doping is gebruikt
Rating of team abilities in soccer
No full textSoccer is a team sport, so measurement of team quality is important. Preferably, quality is measured as a single number that can be used to answer questions such as which soccer team is the best or how do two teams compare to each other. Such questions are asked by fans, players, management of teams and other stakeholders alike. In soccer, the standard to rank teams is by having all teams play a double round robin tournament, with each two teams playing each other twice, once at each venue. Ranking is based on the number of points obtained. However, it is not always practical to play a complete round robin tournament. Moreover, intermediate rankings before all matches in a round robin setup are played reflect both abilities of teams and the matches played so far. As long as not all teams have played each other, it is possible that the team that leads the ranking has had the ‘easiest’ schedule compared with other teams. Intermediate rankings, if available, do not reflect team abilities alone.</p

No full textCompetitive balance in national European soccer competitions
No full textAccording to popular belief, competitive balance in national soccer competitions in Europe has decreased due to the Bosman ruling and the introduction of the Champions League. We test this hypothesis using data from 7 national competitions, for a host of indicators. We find some evidence for competitive balance having decreased in England, and weak evidence for it having decreased in Netherlands and Belgium. For Germany, France, Italy, and Spain, we find no consistent change whatsoever. We use factor analysis to examine whether our measures of competitive balance can be condensed in a limited number of factors.
