All of the authors are writing about subjects that they love and subjects that they have devoted years of study to.

Anyone contemplating research in the field of sports economics will find the worksin these volumes to provide both ample background in subject after subject and numerous suggestions for future avenues of research.The editors have recognized two ways that economics and sports interact. First, economic analysis has helped everyone understand many of the peculiar institutions in sports. And second, quality data about individual productivity, salaries, career histories, teamwork, and managerial behavior has helped economists study topics as varied as the economics of discrimination, salary dispersion, and antitrust policy. These two themes of economics helping sports and sports helping economics provide theorganizational structure to the two-volume set.The reader will find that sports economists employ or comment on practically every field in economics. Labor Economics comes into play in the areas of salary formation, salary dispersion, and discrimination. Baseball's history and the NCAA are studied with Industrial Organization and Antitrust. Public Finance and Contingent Value Modeling come into play in the study of stadium finance and franchise location. The Efficient Market Hypothesis is examined with data from gambling markets.Macroeconomic effects are studied with data from mega events like the Super Bowl, The World Cup, and the Olympics.

Topics in Applied microeconomics like demand estimation and price discrimination are alsocovered in several of the included papers. Game Theory, measurement of production functions, and measurement of managerial efficiency all come into play. Talented authors in each of these fields have made contributions to these volumes.The volumes are also rich from the point of view of the sports fan.
