Description
This book is designed to be used in undergraduate sports economics classes. The book covers the standard economic models used in sports economics: short-run models of price setting and attendance, long-run models of team talent choice, the "two team" model of sports league outcomes, models of outcome uncertainty, and models of contests in sport. The book emphasizes the graphical and algebraic analysis of economic outcomes in sport. The book is designed for use in shorter classes: modules of one week or less, summer semester classes, intersession courses, etc. It can also be used as part of a longer, semester long course that includes supplemental readings from journals, magazines, and newspapers.
