Description

This comprehensive Handbook provides a survey of all the major research areas in sports economics written by almost all of the active researchers in this field.

Issues covered include: * sport in the economy * the demand for sport * cost-benefit analysis of sport * sporting governance and the state * individualistic sports * team sports * dysfunctions in sport including discrimination, doping and corruption. It is an indispensable guide to one of the most lively and rapidly evolving fields of economics.
