Does playing several competitions influence a team’s league performance? Evidence from Spanish professional football
TL;DR: It is shown that evaluating league performance without controlling for extra games played in other competitions might produce misleading results, and the multioutput nature of football must be considered when assessing team performance.

Firm value and managerial incentives: a stochastic frontier approach
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a direct estimate of the magnitude of agency costs in publicly held corporations and compute an explicit performance benchmark that compares a firm's actual Tobin's Q to the Q* of a hypothetical value-maximizing firm having the same inputs and characteristics as the original firm.

Performance evaluation of the English Premier Football League with data envelopment analysis
TL;DR: This paper used data envelopment analysis (DEA) to evaluate the performance of English Premier League football clubs from 1998/99 to 2002/03 combining sport and financial variables, evaluating how close the clubs are relative to the frontier of best practices, analysing how they manage sport as well as financial results.

Using a Probabilistic Frontier Production Function to Measure Technical Efficiency
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used linear programming techniques to estimate a frontier Cobb-Douglas production function for U.S. agriculture from 1960 to 1967, using the "average farm" in each state in each year as an observation.
