ECON 327 - Sports Economics

Institution:

Catholic University of America

Subject:

Economics

Description:

Sports are truly business, big business and off-field economic decisions determine on-field outcomes. This course is designed to apply rigorous economic thinking to the professional sports industry, an industry that offers an almost endless set of opportunities to examine the economic principles that underlie so much of the behavior we observe. Because sports economics cuts across a wide array of economic fields, the course will devote itself primarily to the study of three prominent areas: the industrial organization of sports, public finance and sports, and the labor economics of sports. The course¿s intended audience is students majoring or minoring in economics, business, general management, and sports management. The course has two prerequisites; 1. MGT 423; and 2. Student has achieved junior status or has done ECON 101 or 102
