| dc.description.abstract | In recent years, the introduction of new regulations and technologies across various sectors has prompted critical examination of their broader implications. This phenomenon is no different in the realm of professional football with the implementation of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR). This work seeks to analyse VAR’s impact on various metrics such as referee behaviour, teams’ performance, players behaviour and football bets. Through the use of a data-driven approach, utilizing methods such as Difference-in-Differences (DiD) approach, Event studies and general descriptive statistics which help paint a picture of results. The study was conducted on both the English Premier League and the English Championship, using the latter as a control group. | eng |
