Abstract

Abstract Using data from professional football leagues in four countries, we assess the effects on team performances following head coach turnover, distinguishing between voluntary and involuntary exits. We use entropy balancing to deal with the endogeneity of coach departures, by reweighting pre‐departure covariates to obtain a comparable control group. Results reveal little, if any, positive effect from either type of turnover, though some longer‐term benefits are possible if teams experience no subsequent turnover. We discuss how these findings fit with previous literature and theory, and discuss the wider practical implications.

特殊的吗?主教练对足球队绩效的影响
摘要利用来自四个国家职业足球联赛的数据,我们评估了主教练更替对球队表现的影响,区分了自愿和非自愿离职。我们使用熵平衡来处理教练出发的内生性,通过重新加权出发前的协变量来获得一个可比的对照组。结果显示,这两种类型的离职几乎没有任何积极影响,尽管如果团队没有后续的离职,可能会有一些长期的好处。我们讨论了这些发现如何与以前的文献和理论相吻合,并讨论了更广泛的实际意义。
