商品簡介
Fizel (director of Penn State U.'s online MBA program, the iMBA) presents an overview of economic sports research and theory development. After an introduction to the state of the discipline, eight contributions analyze specific sports leagues in the US and Europe in terms of such topics as revenues and costs, labor markets, market structure, market outcomes, and public and league policy. These are followed by discussion of product market and competitive balance across the sports theory. A section on econometrics and theory in sports economics concludes the volume and contains treatments on team sports efficiency estimation and stochastic frontier models, econometrics models in sports economics, and the theory of contests.
