Efficiency in Knock-out Tournaments: Evidence from EURO 2004

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article

Abstract

This paper compares team performances in the EURO 2004 soccer tournament using average and frontier production functions to examine each teams' relative efficiency. The evidence suggests that while the eventual tournament winners were not obviously superior in terms of a range of individual performance criteria, they were one of the most efficient teams in converting overall match play into results.
