Does performance consistency pay off financially for players? Evidence from the Bundesliga
(Lohnt sich die Leistungs-Konsistenz für Spieler finanziell? Belege aus der Bundesliga)
The purpose of the current study is to investigate how consistency of professional soccer players` performance affects salaries in the German Bundesliga. Using game-level data for five consecutive seasons (n = 34,413 player-match day observations), we find empirical evidence for a salary premium to players showing volatility in performance. Applying ordinary least squares, fixed-effects as well as quantile regression analyses, this effect remains robust.
