Last April the 13th, three of our
investigators signed an article titled “Democracy and Football” and published
on Social Science Quarterly, an important American journal.
The paper talks about the influence of fascism
and communism on the winners of football championships. The Lago-Peñas
brothers mix their knowledge of sports, politics science and economics to
explore to what extent political regimes affected the competitive balance in
domestic football leagues. Relying on data from around 50 European countries
and over 2,000 domestic leagues, they showed that the percentage of league
competitions won by the most successful club in the country is substantially
lower in democracies than in non-democracies.
