Sports Economics
Author: John L. Fizel
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 0313028273
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 261
Book Description
The sports industry presents many unusual and interesting opportunities for the application of economic theory and econometrics. In 15 professional papers, this book addresses current economic issues in the industry, including the problem of competitive balance, the location of professional sports teams and their impact on local communities, managerial decision making, and issues related to labor markets. Extending the previous research in sports economics, the papers reflect the most recent applications of economic theory in this area. The book will be a valuable resource for professional economists working on sports economics topics. In two opening chapters on competitive balance, the contributors develop a model for college football and examine the impact of balance on attendance in major league baseball. In a section on the location of professional sports teams, the chapters then develop a model to predict the location of expansion teams, make econometric estimates of the impact of Super Bowls on the host city, and analyze the ownership of stadiums and arenas. Managerial decision making is discussed in chapters that examine alternative econometric models of production in baseball, use a production function model to analyze technological change in Major League Baseball, examine the management of team streaks, consider the competitive balance between American and National Leagues, analyze the efficiency of player trades in the National Basketball Association, and estimate the impact of participation in inter-collegiate sports on academic performance. In the final section on labor markets, the contributors estimate the impact of owner collusion on baseball players' salaries, consider the impact of the new collective bargaining agreement in Major League Baseball, analyze the impact of being a union representative, and examine the impact of the National Football League's salary cap on player's salaries.

Book Description
Sports and Mathematics The universal popularity of sports has inspired a goldmine of interesting examples for mathematicians, sport fans, and for the teaching and learning. Sports provide an inexhaustible source of fascinating and challenging problems. Today most sports can be studied from a mathematical perspective to valid quantitative results. Mathematical methods are applied to estimate an athlete's chances of success, identify the best training conditions, and to measure their effectiveness. Applied probability and statistics has been instrumental in analysis of vast amount of sport data available. Probabilistic Monte Carlo method are used for simulation model. In fact, it is generally recognized that the use of sports marks an exciting new direction in teaching and learning mathematics and related subjects. With the present state of education, ideas that connect mathematics to popular activities like sports is much needed. The goal of this book is to find a way to delight sport lovers about mathematics and mathematicians about sports to help them to see their connections. Its hope is to bring a variety of applications within the reach of sport fans with some mathematics background or interests.
