    MERIT report on Media Value in Football Season 2014/15 Summary - Main results Authors: Pedro García del Barrio Director Académico de MERIT social value Universitat Internacional de Catalunya (UIC Barcelona) Bruno Montoro Ferreiro Analista de MERIT social value Asier López de Foronda López Universitat Internacional de Catalunya (UIC Barcelona) With the collaboration of: Josep Maria Espina Serra (UIC Barcelona) Arnau Raventós Gascón (UIC Barcelona) Ignacio Fernández Ponsin (UIC Barcelona) www.meritsocialvalue.com 2 Presentation MERIT (Methodology for the Evaluation and Rating of Intangible Talent) is part of an academic project with vast applications in the field of business and company management. This methodology has proved to be useful in measuring the economic value of intangible talent in professional sport and in other entertainment industries. In our estimations – and in the elaboration of the rankings – two elements are taken into consideration: popularity (degree of interest aroused between the fans and the general public) and media value (the level of attention that the mass media pays). The calculations may be made at specific points in time during a season, or accumulating the news generated during a particular period: weeks, months, years, etc. Additionally, the homogeneity amongst the measurements allows for a comparison of the media value status of individuals, teams, institutions, etc. Together with the measurements and rankings, our database allows us to conduct analyses on a wide variety of economic and business problems: estimates of the market value (or “fair value”) of players’ transfer fees; calculation of the brand value of individuals, teams and leagues; valuation of the economic return from alliances between sponsors; image rights contracts of athletes and teams; and a great deal more.

You will also find the standings of the first three places in all events for men and women at the Olympic Games followed by several classifications which are listed either by the number of titles or medals by swimmer or National Federation. It should be noted that these standings only have an historical aim but no sport signification because the comparison between the achievements of swimmers of different generations is always unfair for several reasons: 1. The period of time. The Olympic Games were not organised in 1916, 1940 and 1944 2. The evolution of the programme.

Using a large data set of media value scores in season 2014/15, we rank the most popular football players and clubs worldwide; as well as the teams’ managers with the greatest media value exposure. Then, building upon individual ratings, we determine the hierarchy of the “Big Five” European domestic leagues, according to their comparative media value status. The aim of this paper is applying media value records to Regarding the literature on the football industry, some approximate the degree of interest and identification that players papers may help to learn about the general context; for instance: and teams inspire in football supporters.

Jordan Strategy Forum shares important economic information that is collected from various local & international sources; with the aim of raising economic and social awareness. This is done in order to track the latest developments and suggest solutions that would develop and strengthen the national economy. Jordan’s Financial Sector Performance during the COVID-19 Pandemic – August 2020 2 On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Soon after, the swift and massive shock of COVID-19 and the various shutdown measures to contain it have plunged the global economy into a severe recession. Nevertheless, since the outbreak began, “more than 1,400 measures have been adopted to support the financial sector by more than 140 different countries” (World Bank). Indeed, the objectives of the adopted measures are to stabilize financial markets, and maintain the flow of credit and liquidity to the most affected sectors, especially small and medium enterprises, as well as households. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimates that global public debt (as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product / GDP) will increase by 18.7% compared to the 10.5% increase following the 2008 global financial crisis.
