Abstract

This paper examines the impact of policy changes on player productivity at the top level of European football, with a particular focus on the English Premier League. Contest theory motivates the prediction that post-Bosman entrants will be more productive and consequently have a higher probability of earning/retaining a first-team spot in top European leagues. To test these predictions, data was collected on all players that entered the English Premier League in four-year windows around the Bosman ruling. Nonparametric techniques, specifically Regression Discontinuity Design, were applied to test for sharp jumps in player productivity measures around the Bosman ruling; The results display evident discontinuity in player productivity measures, suggesting that post-Bosman entrants tend to be more productive than pre-Bosman entrants.
