Resumen

Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar la relación entre el valor emocional de los clubes de fútbol, medido a través de los fan tokens y su valor económico, medido a través de las acciones. La investigación se centra en cómo los fan tokens influyen en los precios de las acciones de los clubes de fútbol, con el fin de discernir el impacto del compromiso de los aficionados en el mercado financiero. Se propone que los valores de los fan tokens están significativamente vinculados a la valoración de las acciones de los clubes. Para evaluar esto, se realiza un análisis de datos de panel en seis destacados clubes de fútbol que participan en competiciones europeas. El período de estudio abarca los años 2022 y 2023, incluyendo datos sobre el valor de los fan tokens y los precios de las acciones. Los resultados muestran una correlación positiva y estadísticamente significativa entre la evolución de los fan tokens y el movimiento de los precios de las acciones. Esta tendencia se confirma mediante análisis de regresión lineal de mínimos cuadrados ordinarios (OLS). Además, una prueba retrospectiva de estrategia long-short subraya una relación sustancial entre la evolución de los fan tokens y el rendimiento de las acciones. Se demuestra que las percepciones emocionales de los clubes, donde la sostenibilidad juega un papel clave, ayudan a predecir los resultados económicos. La responsabilidad social es una estrategia que podría proporcionar a los clubes una ventaja competitiva al mejorar las percepciones de los aficionados, impactando positivamente en su rendimiento económico.
