ABSTRACT Purpose: The aim of this paper is to determine whether football clubs are valued according to financial parameters, as in other profit-seeking investments, or depending on the subjective preference of the buyers, in situations where buyers seek emotional rewards or a status symbol. Design: This work analyses a unique data set of the prices of actual transactions of shares from clubs in the big European leagues from 2001 until 2019. A theoretical model is presented introducing financial, sporting, and localisation variables to study their influence in market value. Findings: We have found that the valuation of football clubs in acquisitions is influenced by financial parameters, as in other profit-seeking investments, and does not depend on the subjective preference of the buyers. Practical implications: Our findings show the end of the alignment of interests between new football owners and fans or current organisers of competitions, due to the preferences of the new investor profit-seekers of an American model of sport. Research contributions: The ownership of football clubs in the big leagues has changed dramatically in the last years. For the first time, to the best of our knowledge, the present paper demonstrates the opportunity of analysing the valuations of the football industry with actual data from the transactions.

ABSTRACT Purpose: Formula One (F1) is considered as one of the most popular sports worldwide. However, no previous research inspected its determinants of attendance. This paper aims to cover this gap. Methodology: The dataset includes races from 2015 to 2019. The impact of uncertainty of outcome (UO) is firstly addressed by coefficient of variation, Herfindahl–Hirschman and Gini. Later, a specific metric for F1 is presented. The econometric approach consists in Ordinary Least Squares regressions with season and circuit fixed effects. Findings: The results evidence that an increase in price slightly reduces the demand as well as a significant inverted U-shaped relationship between attendance and UO. Moreover, the findings suggest that the latest performance of a local driver has a significant positive effect in the attendance level. Practical implications: The empirical results provided may aid F1 races’ organizers maximizing live attendances. Research contribution: The findings offered here suggest the use of specific UO indexes for different sport disciplines in further research.
摘要 目的：一级方程式赛车（F1）被认为是全球最受欢迎的体育运动之一。然而，此前没有任何研究探讨过其上座率的决定因素。本文旨在填补这一空白。研究方法：数据集包括 2015 年至 2019 年的比赛。首先通过变异系数、赫芬达尔-赫希曼（Herfindahl-Hirschman）和基尼（Gini）来研究结果不确定性（UO）的影响。随后，介绍了 F1 的具体指标。计量经济学方法包括带有赛季和赛道固定效应的普通最小二乘法回归。研究结果结果表明，价格上涨会略微降低需求，上座率和 UO 之间存在显著的倒 U 型关系。此外，研究结果表明，本地车手的最新表现对上座率有显著的积极影响。实际意义：所提供的实证结果可帮助 F1 赛事组织者最大限度地提高现场观众人数。研究贡献：本文提供的研究结果表明，在进一步的研究中，应针对不同的运动项目使用特定的上座率指数。
