“…Other examples of the production function approach include Hadley et al (2000) for National Football League (NFL) teams, Kahane (2005) for National Hockey League teams, Barros and Leach (2007) for English Premier League teams. Jane et al (2010) analyze the effect of individual efficiency on club performance using data from professional baseball and show that the club level efficiency -accumulation of individual technical efficiencies-has an impact on club performance. Similarly, Teramoto and Cross (2010) examine the contributions of efficiency and related factors to winning games in both regular season and the playoffs in NBA.…”

This study analyzes how the efficiency of basketball players depends on experience, player's nationality and team type. Using data for players in the Turkish Basketball League (TBL) from 1997 to 2010, we first show that efficiency of players initially increase with experience, but after a certain level decrease with it. Second, foreign players are on average more talented than native players. Third, the experience-efficiency link is not valid for foreign players indicating that more experience does not affect efficiency. Fourth, efficiency of foreign players in top-teams is no different than that of foreign players in regular (non-top) teams; whereas, native players in topteams are more efficient than native players in other teams. Finally, in the presence of foreign player quota, top-teams hire the maximum number of foreign players allowed, while financially constrained regular teams can afford less foreign players. Consequently, under foreign player quota the quality of native players and the extent to which a team can pay for additional foreign players determine the team success.

“…Their results showed that this salary increased from 6.19 million US dollars in 1985 to 38.67 million US dollars, with a 10.7% yearly average increase in salary. Jane et al (2010) adopted a stochastic frontier model to measure the correlation of the individual efficiency of baseball players against club performance. Studies found that winning percentages were related to runs scored, safety hits and home runs, rather than bases on balls and stolen bases.…”

A performance evaluation of Major League Baseball teams: An integrated social network and data envelopment analysis

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

An organisation's position within a network is known to influence its performance. This study proposes a novel evaluation model, incorporating social networking variables, to measure 30 Major League Baseball (MLB) teams' performances. Using the data envelopment analysis (DEA) technique, the empirical results of this study show that inefficiencies are due to purely technical rather than scale effects. The results of a sensitivity analysis indicated that the betweenness centrality had a higher level of influence on each team's performance than on the salaries paid. If the betweenness centrality was not considered, five of the teams considered to be technically efficient would become inefficient.

“…The next paper in this issue by Chang (2018) examines the demand for attendance at Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL) games in Taiwan. Previously, scholars have examined the performance of players in the CPBL (Jane, Kong, & Wang, 2010), as well as attendance demand in the league (Chen, Lin, & Lin, 2012). Though there are a handful of such studies, Taiwan has generally been an under studied context in Asian sports economics, especially when compared to South Korea or Japan.…”

Asian countries have emerged as an important player in international sport business. In particular, China, Japan, and Korea are frequent hosts of the Olympics, FIFA World Cup, and other international mega sports events. At the same time, their domestic sports industries also have grown consistently. However, Asian sports business remains relatively remote from the in-depth research occurring in Western contexts in the field of sports economics and management. In response to this, this special issue helps to push forward the examination of Asian sport business from economic, financial, and managerial perspectives. Specifically, this special issue examines: the impact of foreign player policies on competitive balance, the relationship between wage dispersion and team performance, the relationship between consumer demand and international events, as well as the development of sport facilities across China.
