The Performance Effects of Wise and Unwise Managerial Dismissals
We are happy to announce that Egon Franck together with his co-author Raphael Flepp published their paper on "The Performance Effects of Wise and Unwise Managerial Dismissals" in Economic Inquiry.
The performance effects of wise and unwise managerial dismissals.
Abstract
The decision to dismiss a coach is challenging because poor performance tends to coincide with both bad luck and low coaching ability. We differentiate between dismissals following actual poor performance on the pitch (wise dismissals) and dismissals following seemingly poor performance due to bad luck (unwise dismissals). To categorize dismissals, we use “expected goals,” which are less vulnerable to random variation in match outcomes. Using data from European football, we find that wise dismissals increase subsequent performance compared to a control group of nondismissals with similarly poor performance on the pitch. However, unwise dismissals do not improve subsequent performance compared to a control group with similar strings of bad luck. (JEL D81, J44, L83 )
