title = "Efficiency in Knock-out Tournaments: Evidence from EURO 2004",
abstract = "This paper compares team performances in the EURO 2004 soccer tournament using average and frontier production functions to examine each team's relative efficiency. The evidence suggests that while the eventual tournament winners were not obviously superior in terms of a range of individual performance criteria, they were one of the most efficient teams in converting overall match play into results.",
