Resumo
[Abstract] Institutional and legal reforms applied in the context of sports competitions often provoke structural changes
that can be empirically investigated. Using a data set of 560 observations (20 teams per season, from 2009/10 to
2015/16, of teams playing in the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A and Ligue 1), this paper examines how the UEFA
Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations may have altered the football clubs’ decisions concerning their sport and financial
priorities. Moreover, based on a simple theoretical description, the paper shows that the increasing financial stability
promoted by the FFP rules might actually imply – as an undesired side effect – a declined competitive balance affecting
the European football leagues. Finally, the paper discusses some policy issues and recommendations.
