摘要：Much research suggests that sporting events can trigger domestic vio-lence with recent evidence suggesting that pre-match expectations (whichcan be interpreted as reference points) play an especially important role inthis relationship. In particular, unexpectedly disappointing results havebeen associated with large increases in domestic violence. This paper con-tributes to this literature using a new data set containing every domesticviolence incident in Glasgow over a period of more than eight years. Wefind that Old Firm matches, where Glasgow rivals Celtic and Rangersplay, are associated with large increases in domestic violence (regardlessof the timing or the outcome of the match). Non-Old Firm matches tendto have little impact on domestic violence. Furthermore, we find little evi-dence for the importance of reference points. Matches with disappointingoutcomes, relative to pre-match expectations, are found to be associatedwith unusual increases in domestic violence only in a very limited set ofmatches
