This dissertation contains two main topics within the field of sports economics.Chapter 1 studies how the playing-behind-closed-door policy enforced by the COVID-19 pandemic affects professional soccer team performance and players' behaviors. We apply novel empirical methodologies of difference-in-difference (DID) and regression-discontinuity (RD) to study the teams' performance and players' behaviors, respectively. Our findings not only provide evidence about how this policy influences the home-team advantage but also offer new and detailed evidence about how the home-team and away-team players adjust their playing strategies accordingly. Specifically, they changed their levels of aggressiveness but in different magnitudes in response to this playing-behind-closed-door policy.Chapter 2 applies novel empirical methodologies of PSM-DID to examine the effect of fans' absence on referees' judgments. Using the detailed matched real-time data of each soccer game on the main European soccer leagues during the COVID-19 pandemic period, controlling for individual referees and competing teams as well as for possible selection bias in referees' decisions caused by the gaming circumstances. I distinguish between fan-presence games and fan-absence games and compare some new measurements of referees' choices on home teams and on away teams. The results show that the referees are not only sensitive to the spectators' absence but also relevant to the forecasting outcome before the game and the real-time situations during the game. Moreover, this finding is more obvious in highly competitive teams.Chapter 3 seeks to further such a line of inquiry by examining the influence of internet-based website racial discrimination on the wage gap in professional soccer players on the digital platform (WhoScroed.com). Specifically, the analysis uses Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition models that take into account an array of factors, including player characteristics, performance, market size, and so forth. Results reveal that when controlling for all other factors, Asian players and Black players receive significantly lower ratings on internet-based website than their counterparts, while White and American pitchers receive more, which directly causes a wage gap between different races. Further, the findings demonstrate that the role of internet-based website in the sports-industry job market may cause a bias toward different races or nationalities. These findings yield critical insights into tendencies of sports industry biases on digital platforms, assisting the development of an equal and efficient sports market environment for stakeholders.
