SUMMARY:

This work analyzes the link between wage expenditure among Premier League football clubs and their performance in the league. The main purpose is to check if higher wages imply on better performance on the pitch and to quantify this impact. I test three different econometric specifications for the two performance metrics chosen (team’s ranking and points percentage). The regarded specifications are Fixed Effects, System GMM and Exogenous Instrumental Variable System GMM. In the end I am able to observe a positive relation between wages and performance and also check an interesting behavior for the roster variable. The models adopted in this research present a smaller group of instruments in comparison to ”Aggregate wages of players and performance in Italian Serie A”, which is the academic paper that motivated this research. The smaller group of instruments allow me to have a better control over instrument proliferation and overfitting.
