| In this paper, we follow an Instrumental Variable (IV) estimation strategy to assess the impact of crowd effects on the outcomes of the Italian Serie A matches. We use weather conditions to instrument for crowd attendance. We verify the validity of our identification strategy by taking advantage of matches played during the COVID-19 outbreak in Italy. We find that crowd effects have a positive impact on the home team performance. |
