“…This is especially useful because of the varying job descriptions (goalkeeper, defender, midfielder, and forward) as each position is assigned with a different duty (see Franck & Nüesch, 2010;Lehmann & Weigand, 1999;Lucifora & Simmons, 2003). Trusting evaluations by experts is common practice in sport economic literature (Bryson et al, 2012;Garcia-del-Barrio & Pujol, 2005;Littkemann & Kleist, 2002). Performance evaluation is comparable to performance measuring in the German school system and itemizes grades from 1.0 (excellent) to 6.0 (very poor).…”

The purpose of the current study is to investigate how consistency of professional soccer players’ performance affects salaries in the German Bundesliga. Using game-level data for five consecutive seasons ( n = 34,413 player–match day observations), we find empirical evidence for a salary premium to players showing volatility in performance. Applying ordinary least squares, fixed-effects as well as quantile regression analyses, this effect remains robust.

“…These proxies are likely to be consistent because the market values have been estimated in a systematic manner for several years by largely unchanged editorial staff. They have already been used in several empirical studies on the German soccer league (seeLehmann and Weigand 1999;Swieter 2000;Forrest and Simmons 2002; Hübl and Swieter 2002;Littkemann and Kleist 2002;Eschweiler and Vieth 2004; Haas, Ko- cher, and Sutter 2004;Franck and Nüesch 2007).…”

In this paper, we empirically investigate the performance effect of team-specific human capital in highly interactive teams. Based on the tenets of the resource-based view of the firm and on the ideas of typical learning functions, we hypothesize that team members' shared experience in working together positively impacts team performance, but at diminishing rates. Holding a team's stock of general human capital and other potential drivers constant, we find support for this prediction. Implications concerning investment decisions into human capital as well as the transferability of our findings to other contexts are discussed.
