“…The numbers suggest that managers forced out have generally bought more players than the other managers, which could suggest that pressure is higher when more investments have been made. Frick and Simmons (2008) find evidence for German soccer teams that higher quality managers make better investments, which is consistent with the measure used here. Finally, the remaining contract length serves as an indicator of the costs involved in sacking a manager.…”

“…4.1.2 the results of a brief analysis conduced for four other countries have been described. More advanced empirical analysis has been carried out by Frick and Simmons (2008) for Germany, by De Paola and Scoppa (2008) for Italy and by Audas et al (1999) for England. Dawson et al (2000) review the literature for England and argue that it is important to take into account measures of manager quality and history.…”

“…The measure of turnover applied in that analysis is one of turnover in between seasons. Frick and Simmons (2008) are interested in explaining the effect of managerial quality on team performance in Germany in the period . Managerial quality is measured by the manager's salary and his past performance.…”

Does Manager Turnover Improve Firm Performance? Evidence from Dutch Soccer, 1986–2004

This research examines the impact of manager turnover on firm performance using information from the Dutch soccer league in the period 1986-2004. The main advantage of using sports data is that both manager characteristics and decisions and firm outcomes are directly observable. Both difference-in-difference and 2SLS estimates suggest no statistically significant improvements in performance after manager turnover, whereas previous research based on publicly traded firm data has found positive but very small effects of manager turnover on performance. The estimates confirm previous research using soccer data. In addition, estimates suggest that manager quality does not seem to matter in predicting turnover. These estimates are compared and contrasted with studies using publicly traded firm data and studies using soccer data.

This paper analyses Italian interregional migration flows. The approach taken is to decompose labour mobility flows into short distance and long distance migration and to model the effects of economic variables, social capital and quality of life variables, and amenity variables, on the mobility behaviour of individuals. We estimate these different types of migration flows using a negative binomial model, augmented with instruments to control for potential endogeneity issues. Our findings demonstrate that long distance migration reflects a disequilibrium model of migration whereas short distance migration largely reflects an equilibrium model of migration. As such, attempts to model interregional migration in general will be mis-specified as the simultaneously-operating underlying mobility systems are quite different in nature.Migration éloignée et rapprochée en Italie : rôle de facteurs économiques, sociaux et environnementaux RÉ SUMÉ La présente communication analyse les flux migratoires interrégionaux en Italie. Le principe adopté consiste à décomposer les flux de mobilité de la main-d'oeuvre en migrations rapprochée et migration éloignée, puis de modéliser les effets de variables économiques, de variables propres au capital social et à la qualité de vie, et de variables sur le plan de l'agrément sur le comportement de la mobilité des particuliers. Nous effectuons une estimation de ces différents types de flux migratoires en utilisant un modèle binomial négatif, renforcé par des instruments pour le contrôle de questions d'endogénéité potentielles. Nos conclusions démontrent que la migration éloignée reflète un modèle de déséquilibre de la migration, alors que la migration rapprochée reflète en grand partie un modèle déséquilibre de la migration. De cette façon, toutes tentatives de modélisation de migrations interrégionales seront spécifiées de façon erronée, du fait de la nature différente des systèmes de mobilité sous-jacents agissant simultanément.

El método adoptado es la descomposición de los flujos de movilidad laboral en migración de corta y migración de larga distancia, y modelar los efectos de las variables económicas, las variables de capital social y de calidad de vida, y las variables de bienestar, con base en el comportamiento de la movilidad de los individuos. Estimamos estos tipos de flujos migratorios diferentes a través de un modelo binomial negativo, ampliado con instrumentos que permiten controlar los posibles problemas de endogeneidad. Nuestras conclusiones demuestran que la migración de larga distancia refleja un modelo desequilibrado de migración, mientras que la migración de corta distancia refleja en gran medida un modelo equilibrado de migración. Como tal, los intentos para modelar la migración interregional, en términos gen...

This is undoubtedly a substantial amount although staying in the league itself is still the most Eredivisie, German Bundesliga, Spanish La Liga and Italian Serie A (see Audas, Dobson and Goddard, 2002;Bruinshoofd and ter Weel, 2003;Hope, 2003;Koning, 2003;Tena and Forrest, 2007;Frick and Simmons, 2008;De Paola and Scoppa, 2011;Gonzalez-Gomez et al, 2011;Bell, Brooks and Markham, 2013). However, many of these papers focus on the impact of managerial change on performance and there has been very little research on the factors that influence the decision to replace a manager in the first instance.…”

Purpose: This paper aims to highlight and encourage consideration of the ethical and in some instances legal implications of managerial change in the EPL which often gets overlooked and sidestepped by clubs.Design/methodology/approach: Extant literature relating to managerial change is identified and discussed to provide the foundations of the discussion of whether managerial change in the EPL which is primarily focused on performance outcome, is neglecting ethical and legal issues. Findings:The loophole that exists in the Employment Rights Act (1996) allows clubs to instantly dismiss a manager and consequently not see out their notice period as agreed in their contract or the statutory notice period. Whilst legally clubs are at will to act in this manner, the instability of EPL management evident today appears to have taken away the rights of an employee. Practical implications:Greater consideration of the current managerial change practices in EPL from an ethical and legal perspective appears warranted. The incomparable rights that a player and a manger have relating to their tenure at a club seem somewhat unfair. Originality/value: Presents thought-provoking information relating to managerial change inthe EPL which appears to have been overlooked in the literature to date which primarily focuses on the impact of change on performance. There is little evidence presently to suggest that football clubs stand by their manager in bad times. In fact, according to many there is an unhealthy churn of managers with sacked managers and coaches hired by competitors who have dismissed their own coach in order to appoint someone else (e.g.
