Synopsis

For upper division undergraduate classes aimed at a general audience (usually comprised of business and sports management majors) or in a seminar for economics majors.

Sports Economics, by Rodney Fort, professor of economics and co-author of both Pay Dirt and Hard Ball, applies a dose of economic thinking to the business of sports. A recognized authority on sports economics and business, Professor Fort shows how the application of the economic way of thinking to team sports leads to a better understanding of the relationship between sports, the business, sports, and the game. Because sports truly are business, off-field economic decisions help determine on-field outcomes.
