Estimating the Value of Brand Alliances in Professional Team Sports

Abstract: Brands often form alliances to enhance their brand equities. In this paper, we examine the alliances between professional athletes (athlete brands) and sports teams (team brands) in the National Basketball Association (NBA). Athletes and teams match to maximize the total added value created by the brand alliance. To understand this total value, we estimate a structural two-sided matching model using a maximum score method. Using data on the free-agency contracts signed in the NBA during the four-year period fr… Show more

“…Note that Yang et al (2009) show the empirically estimated impact on a brand of joining teams with varying levels of equity. Since the equity of a team goes up from the efforts of the "other" members of the team, the entries in the table are indicative of the varying magnitude of the indirect linkage under discussion.…”

“…Its main contribution is to propose and demonstrate an estimation method derived from the first principles of the value-based framework due to Stuart (1996, 2007) that yields estimates consistent with the assumption of competitive behavior, instead of taking existing econometric methods and imperfectly mapping the value-based framework onto them. The method was originally developed for cooperative game theory models known as matching games (Fox, 2008(Fox, , 2010, and has been recently applied in the strategic management literature to study alliances (Mindruta, 2013;Mindruta, Moeen, and Agarwal, 2016) while also finding notable applications in marketing (Yang, Shi, and Goldfarb, 2009) and corporate finance (Akkus, Cookson, and Hortaçsu, 2015). We illustrate how it can be further developed to estimate value creation in formal models based on biform games and show how empirical estimates can be leveraged in a model of value capture.…”
