Working Paper Series No. 88-2016 Disciplinary Sanction and Social Pressure in English Premiership Soccer
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper uses player/match level data drawn from five playing seasons of the English Premiership League (EPL) to test for the presence of a refereeing susceptibility to social pressure in the application of soccer’s commonest sanction, the yellow disciplinary card. Using both player-specific fixed and random effects models, tentative support for the proposition is uncovered. The estimated effect, however, is found to be negligible in magnitude and unlikely to influence match outcomes in a meaningful way. JEL classification: C23, D81, L83
