“…The results of CB in terms of concentration indicate low CB in both leagues. In the case of the male league, this result is confirmed by previous empirical evidence (Gasparetto & Barajas, 2016;Mon-Friera & Rodriguez-Guerrero, 2016;Ramchandani et al, 2018).…”

“…Owen, Ryan, & Weatherston (2007) were one of the first researchers to apply HHI to measure CB in professional sports leagues. Following Owen's et al (2007) approach, several papers (Pawlowski, Breuer, & Hovemann, 2010;Unanue, Villarrubia, Guerrero, Godoy, & Sánchez, 2014;Gasparetto & Barajas, 2016;Ramchandani et al, 2018) have used HHI to measure within-season CB. The HHI is an industry standard and well-known measure, and its adapted versions allow comparisons between leagues with a different number of teams and within leagues when the number of teams changes over time.…”

“…In football, Scelles, Durand, Bonnal, Goyeau, and Andreff (2013) have analysed the competitive intensity, employing dummies that are a function of the points difference for the home team before a match in relation to ranks with sporting stakes to investigate the determinants of attendance of French league matches. Gasparetto and Barajas (2016) have proposed an Accumulated Points Difference (APD) and they compare this measure with other well-known measures in the general industry. Mon-Friera and Rodriguez-Guerrero (2016) have used the Gini index, Pearson coefficient, concentration ratios, and HHI to analyse the competitive balance of the men's Spanish league since its inception.…”

The fans are the biggest part of the success of sports contests. The competitive equilibrium reflects uncertainty about the outcomes of professional sporting, which attracts the fans' interest. Thus, the competitive balance (CB) is one of the main issues in sports economics. The objective of this paper is to analyse and compare the CB of male (Liga Santander) and female (Liga Iberdrola) top division leagues of Spanish football. In particular, we consider two aspects of CB: the level of concentration and the level of dominance of a sample composed of six seasons (from 2012/13 to 2017/18). For the concentration analysis, the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI), the ideal HHI competitive balance and deviated HHI (dHHI) are calculated. To analyse the dominance level, the HHI of dominance (HHID) in terms of titles won and top 4 are calculated. The results indicate that Liga Santander (male) is more balanced than the Liga Iberdrola (female). However, these findings do not imply that Liga Santander is balanced. In relation to dominance in terms of titles won, Liga Iberdrola is much better than Liga Santander. However, in terms of the top 4 dominance, both leagues have presented the same results. In this sense, both leagues' decision makers must act to improve the competitive balance. In spite of the recent increase of media and attendance in the Liga Iberdrola, the lack of CB could be a serious handicap to it becoming a professional league.

“…It is important to weigh the competitiveness of each league -and not only its economic value according to material capabilities-since Gasparetto and Barajas, following the classical theory proposed by Rottenberg (1956), argue that "fans are more interested in balanced tournaments" or competitive (GASPARETTO;BARAJAS, 2016, p.290). In accordance with the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS) -an organization founded on March 27 th , 1984 and focused on documenting the history and records of FIFA-the ranking of the strongest national league in 2015 was (IFFHS, 2016a): 1) Spain, 2) Italy, 3) Germany, 4) Argentina, 5) France, 6) Brazil, 7) England, 8) Portugal, 9) Belgium, 10) Russia.…”

O futebol se tornou um fenômeno global, mas há relativamente poucos estudos das Relações Internacionais. Este documento explora as contribuições que o futebol faz para o poder nacional com base em três hipóteses: 1) o poder nacional é afetado por todos os tipos de atividades humanas, incluindo esportes; 2) o futebol, como atividade humana, promove o poder nacional; 3) o futebol é enquadrado pelo sistema mundial e o reproduz. Para verificar essas hipóteses, este trabalho apresenta um quadro teórico para analisar a contribuição do futebol para o poder nacional; então ele volta a entender o potencial de futebol das potências regionais da semiperiferia; finalmente, são identificadas as relações no futebol entre dois atores proeminentes: Argentina e China.

“…Scientific research has used various methods to measure competitive equilibrium, focusing mainly on the analysis of regular leagues (García-Unanue et al, 2014).Among these measurement methodsit can be find the standard deviation of the victories percentage adjusted over the standard deviation for a perfect competitiveness (Humphreys, 2002), the Gini coefficient (Schmidt, 2001), the concentration ratios of victories for the first 5 teams (Naghshbandi et al, 2011),the Hirschman-Herfindal index (Owen, Ryan, & Weatherston, 2007)or the Accumulated Points Difference index (Gasparetto & Barajas, 2016).…”

The purpose of this study was to quantify the competitive balance in both men's and women's professional division roller hockey competitions (Spanish and Portugal leagues) comparing the results obtained according to the sex of participants. The sample was composed of 5,942 roller hockey games (2,044 in Spanish male league, 1,580 in Spanish female league, 1,814 in Portuguese male league and 504 in Portuguese female league) between the 2009-2010 and 2017-18 seasons. To calculate the competitive balance, it was used the Accumulated Points Difference index andthe one way ANOVA followed by Tukey Post Hoc multiple comparison test. The results showed that male leagues are more balanced than female (71.41±11.29 vs. 79.65±5.75 for Spanish leagues and 75.56±7.54 vs. 80.16±15.01 for Portuguese leagues). The results in relation to the sex of participants are consistent with previous studies in other sports like football. The analysis of the competitive balance could be useful for the governing body of Roller Hockey Federations to have quantitative data of the equality that exists in each league and to asses if it is necessary to introduce changes in the competition to make it more equalized in order to increase the audience.
