Description
Many economists find the sports industry to be the ideal paradigm to illustrate a range of economic concepts, which explains why the Economics of Sports course continues to grow in popularity. The Economics of Sports explores economic concepts and theory—industrial organization, public finance, and labor economics—in the context of applications from American and international sports.
Leeds and von Allmen offer a basic understanding of microeconomics, written at an undergraduate level for either a complete course in sports economics or as a supplement to principles-level courses.
