Abstract

In the 1990s, the three-point rule was introduced in football associations: 2 points for a victory, 1 point for a draw and 0 point for a loss was replaced with 3 points for a victory, 1 point for a draw and 0 point for a loss. The aim of this reform was to increase the incentives for teams to play a more offensive game. We compare the percentage of draws before and after the reform for the French premier league (Ligue 1) and the French cup (Coupe de France). Using difference-in-differences estimation, we show that the repartition of victories is affected by the reform: the percentage of home victories has decreased and the percentage of guest victories has increased, letting unchanged the percentage of draws. Classification JEL : Z2, C2, L2.
