⚽ Calling all football fans! The season is back underway, so what better time to ask: Does Sacking the Manager work? When a football team is underperforming, replacing the manager can seem like the obvious response. And results often do improve after a new manager arrives. But would they have improved anyway? In the latest episode of #VoxTalks Economics, Tim Phillips speaks with Jan C. van Ours (Erasmus School of Economics) about his research on managerial replacements in Dutch football. Looking at seven seasons of the Eredivisie, van Ours uses bookmaker odds and expected goals to distinguish poor performance from bad luck, and to examine what happens when struggling clubs replace their manager. He finds that performance tends to improve after a manager is replaced. But when he compares these clubs with similar cases in which the manager stayed, performance improves there too. So how much of the “new-manager bounce” can really be attributed to the new manager? And if you’re not a football fan, there’s still plenty here for you. The conversation explores what football can tell us about managerial turnover in business, why managers may become scapegoats for poor performance, and why there can be pressure to act even when the benefits of doing so are uncertain. 🎧 Listen now: https://ow.ly/3pnQ50ZMAxX
