Summary
Little quantitative work has so far appeared in the growing literature on professional sports. In this paper a model is constructed and estimated for the attendances of four English First Division clubs. The possibility of a common law‐like relationship is examined and account is taken of common cross‐sectional influences in order to raise the efficiency of the estimates.
This paper draws on recent research into these issues in the commercial research sector; specifically, in the measurement of television viewing. Different analyses for detecting measurement errors associated with time‐in‐sample are described.
