Abstract:

The study of football - the clubs, the players, the managers, the referees - is telling us more and more about the operation of labour markets and incentives. Here, Alex Bryson and colleagues show that two-footedness - the rare ability to use both feet equally well to pass, tackle and shoot - commands a large wage premium.
