Testing Efficiency In Nhl Betting Markets, Charles Luxton, Joshua Spizman, David Moore

Senior Theses

Further discussion considers implications of Financial Fair Play regulations and explores relevant case studies of Blackburn Rovers, Manchester City, Chelsea, Leicester City, and Newcastle United.

Because of this, federations avoid strict auditing procedures, and other regulations, which consequently have deterred …
