dc.description.abstractStructural break points in the F irst D ivision/ E nglish P remier L eague time series of competitive balance identify an E arly P eriod, a Pre‐ W orld W ar II P eriod, a Post‐ W ar P eriod, and a M odern P eriod. The E arly P eriod corresponds to technology diffusion (defense and tactics) along with important economic structural imposition by leagues. The war periods are common to many time series. The M odern P eriod's sharp decline in balance corresponds to the newest version of the C hampions L eague in 1994/1995 and the B osman R uling of 1995. R ottenberg's invariance principle suggests that it would be the former, rather than the latter, responsible for the historical rate of decline that follows this structural break.en_US
