Sažetak
Football players’ wages are, in most clubs, the largest share of
expenses and one of the most important incentives to keep players motivated. How are football players encouraged to constantly
improve their performance and what is the effect of good performances on wages? Are wage spreads within teams being set
to motivate players, as in a rank-order tournament? Using accurate data from Portuguese First League football player wages, we
study the relationship between wages and players’ performance.
Using minutes, number of games and performance statistics during the season as a proxy for players’ performance, we show that
players who play more minutes earn a wage prize and those at
the top face a convex relationship suggesting the setup of a tournament within football teams
