Assessing an experimental rule change in the pay-offs for soccer league match outcomes using historical data for Ireland by Shilan Dargahi, Barry Reilly

“…This pay-off structure was designed to incentivize visiting teams to engage in more offensive play, thus potentially increasing the number of goals scored per game and reducing the incidence of drawn games.MethodsUsing match-level data for six playing seasons, the impact of this reward scheme on an array of match-level outcomes is evaluated using an array of fixed effects regression models.Results and discussionThe key empirical findings suggest this change to the pay-off structure did not reduce the drawn game rate but did induce a modest increase in the average goal scoring of the home team with subsequent implications for average goal difference. …”
