Can sporting success in Norwegian football be predicted from budgeted revenues?
研究了2011-2013年挪威足球联赛中预算收入与竞技成绩的关系,挑战了“财力越强成绩越好”的普遍观点。
Research question: Although previous research has shown that there is an association between financial strength and sporting outcome, whereby teams with larger budgeted revenues typically perform better in sports than other teams, this was not supported by a newspaper article describing the 2012 season in Norwegian football. Drawing on the Norwegian football league over the period 2011–2013, this paper sets out to explore the association between financial strength and sporting outcome in detail.
