The Economics of Professional Sports 4th Edition by Duane W. Rockerbie Pdf

The Economics of Professional Sports is a comprehensive review of the sports economics literature that is both rigorous in content and readable for a general audience. The book is targeted to an intermediate undergraduate student audience with only modest prior training in economics and statistics. Topics include, but are not limited to: ticket pricing and elasticities, profit versus win-maximizing behavior, taxes, revenue sharing, salary caps, luxury taxes and their effects on league parity, new stadium construction and computing net economic benefits, salary determination for players, the influence of rival leagues and a host of other popular topics taken from the sports economics literature. The book contains many real world examples as well as probing exercise questions for practice. Only a few textbooks exist in the sports economics field (Fort; Leeds, von Allmen and Matheson; Blair) that are generally not very rigorous and focus on the U.S. sports industry and college sports. The intended audiences are either introductory students or fourth-year majors. This text bridges that gap.

Contract Options for Buyers and Sellers of Talent in Professional Sports by Duane W Rockerbie,Stephen T. Easton Pdf

This Palgrave Pivot re-examines salary formation in Major League Baseball in light of real option theory to clarify the connection between salary and marginal revenue product for professional baseball players. Current literature has tended to treat single-year and multi-year contracts similarly, ignoring the potential option value for teams and for players. Recent work points to the observation that both high-productivity and low-productivity athletes have salaries that systematically differ from their marginal revenue product, and that free agents signing multi-year contracts are overpaid relative to free agents signing one-year contracts. This book argues that the value of signing an athlete to a contract should be determined similarly to the determination of the value of an investment project or a financial asset. This book demonstrates how to calculate the value of real options to the player and the team owner with a simple two-year contract, and offers extensions to the real options model for multiyear contracts or when a player is early or late in his career.

The Business of Professional Sports by Paul D. Staudohar,J. A. Mangan Pdf

Beyond the highly publicized heroics and foibles of players and teams, when the grandstands are empty and the scoreboards dark, there is a world of sport about which little is known by even the most ardent fan. It is the business world of sport; it is characterized by a thirst for power and money, and its players are just as active as those on the professional teams they oversee. In this collection, some of the best scholars in the field use examples from baseball, football, basketball, and hockey to illuminate the significant economic, legal, social, and historic aspects of the business of professional sports. Contributors: Dennis A. Ahlburg, Rob B. Beamish, Joan M. Chandler, James B. Dworkin, Lawrence M. Kahn, Charles P. Korr, John J. MacAloon, David Mills, Roger G. Noll, Steven A. Reiss, Gary R.
