Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Managing weather risks : the case J. League Soccer teams in Japan

Notas: Sumario: Weather-related risks present significant concerns for businesses worldwide. This article studies the impact weather conditions have on the financial performance of sports teams and proposes a hedging mechanism to manage the exposure. We analyze a unique game attendance data set supplied by the Japanese premier soccer association, J. League. Our analysis shows that precipitation has a significantly adverse impact on game attendance and team profits. Wethen design a hedging mechanism for this risk exposure and examine its contribution to the corporate value of the teams. In particular, we use the Wang transform model to incorporate the decision makers' risk preferences in the evaluation of the weather derivatives, where the risk aversion parameters are obtained from a survey of J. League managers. We find that the proposed weather derivatives contribute significantly to team value. Our analysis and results provide insights for weather risk management for sports teams in the international markets.Registros relacionados: En: The Journal of risk and insurance. - Nueva York : The American Risk and Insurance Association, 1964- = ISSN 0022-4367. - 05/12/2016 Volumen 83 Número 4 - diciembre 2016 , p. 877-912Materia / lugar / evento: Riesgos de la naturaleza Condiciones climáticas ambientales Equipos deportivos Instalaciones deportivas Impacto económico Valoración financiera Valoración de riesgos Otros autores: Ai, Jing
