• Uncertainty of Outcome or Star Quality? Television Audience Demand for English Premier League Football (2015, background): “The extent to which uncertainty of outcome positively impacts consumer demand and maximises consumer welfare is far from unambiguous (Szymanski 2003).”
• Issues in Sports Forecasting (2010, neutral): “(See Smyth and Smyth, 1994 for baseball; Szymanski, 2003, p. 1154 and Forrest et al. (2005a) for soccer).”
• Goal! Profit Maximization Versus Win Maximization in Soccer (2009, background): “Teams cooperate by setting the rules of the game, but inpractice go much further than this,engaging in labor market restraints(e.g.,rules on the allocation of players, roster limits, salary caps) and product market restraints (e.g., exclusive territories, revenue sharing, collective selling) wheneve”
• The relationship between ownership structure and club performance in the English Premier League. (2013, neutral): “Naturally, the development of this literature has led to comparisons between the North American and European models (see Hoehn and Szymanski, 1999; Andreff and Staudohar, 2000; Szymanski, 2003).”
• Financial fair play in European football (2014, background): “3 The comparison of the two models is discussed extensively in Hoehn and Szymanski (1999) and Szymanski (2003).”
• Primaries and the New Hampshire Effect (2006, neutral): “By (26), u(p, q) = 0, and since (p, q) is an arbitrary equilibrium, we conclude that, when J > K(α), every equilibrium in G J must be a UCE in mixed strategies and involve full rent dissipation.”
• Generalized contest success functions (2009, neutral): “economists (Kolmar and Wagener 2005), and individual and team sports (Szymanzki 2003) by sports economists.”
• Measuring Competitive Balance in Professional Team Sports Using the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (2007, background): “In particular, it is often argued that the degree of competitive balance affects uncertainty of outcome in sporting leagues, which, in turn, affects attendance demand, although the empirical evidence on the latter linkage is mixed; see, for example, Borland and MacDonald (2003) and Szymanski (2003)”
• Competitive Balance in Sports Leagues (2002, background): “team sports as well as English and Italian soccer, see Szymanski (2001). 6.”
