The Economic Design of Sporting Contests -- The Political Economy ofSport -- Is there a European Model of Sport? -- Antitrust and Inefficient Joint Ventures: Why Sports Leagues Should Look MoreLike McDonald'sand Less like the United Nations -- Governance and Vertical Integration in Team Sports -- Antitrust, Promotion and Relegation -- Equality of Opportunity and Equality of Outcome: Open Leagues, Closed Leagues and Competitive Balance -- Promotion and Relegation in Sporting Contests -- Competitive Balance and Gate Revenue Sharing in Team Sports -- Testing Causality Between Team Performance and Payroll: The Cases of Major League Baseball and English Soccer -- Why Have Premium Sports Rights Migrated to Pay-TV in Europe but not in the US.

In the last twenty years professional sport has grown into a business of some substance and has attracted increasing attention from investors, lawyers, governments and regulators. Commercial and cultural disputes have required an increasingly sophisticated economic analysis, and over this period Stefan Szymanski has been one of the leading contributors, shaping the research agenda and public policy analysis. This volumeis mainly concerned with international comparisons. There are papers which compare the economic structure of major league sports in the NorthAmerica (baseball, American football, basketball and hockey) with the European approach to football and other sports. Competitivebalance concerns are addressed and the potential of revenue sharing mechanisms to deal with these problems is analysed in detail. Broadcasting policy in the Europe and the US is contrasted, while thisvolume also contains animportant contribution to the analysis of the problems in world cricket. Given the important role that sports play in the life of modern societies, this book is popular readingfor all interested in economics andsports studies, and will provide an invaluable guide to studentsand practitioners alike.
