Over a 50 year period, Australian Rules football's major league, the Victorian Football League, did not always use its largest and best‐equipped stadium for regular season games between its most popular teams or schedule those teams to play twice in a regular season. We calculate deadweight losses from the use of capital goods (stadiums) and effects of match scheduling in this professional sports league. Such analysis has not been attempted previously because of the absence of a counterfactual. The welfare losses were significant but not sufficient to threaten the survival of a distance‐protected cartel.

体育馆和日程安排：测量维多利亚时代足球联赛的无谓损失，1920-70年

在过去的50年中，澳大利亚统治足球的主要联赛维多利亚橄榄球联赛并不总是在其最受欢迎的球队之间进行常规赛比赛时总是使用其最大，装备最齐全的体育场，也没有安排这些球队在常规赛中出战两次。我们通过使用资本货物（体育场）的使用以及这个职业体育联赛中比赛日程的影响来计算无谓损失。由于没有反事实，以前没有尝试过这种分析。福利损失是巨大的，但不足以威胁到距离受保护的卡特尔的生存。
