| Summary: | This volume provides a comprehensive treatment of public policy aspects of the economics of professional sports. The book offers a unique focus on public policy, covering regulation and competition in the sports industry and its labour markets, governance issues including unethical behaviour (corruption, doping, etc), and public spending on stadiums and mega-events. It also offers an original combination of economic analysis and well-known international examples, combined with detailed studies of public policy towards sport in Australia. Australia is an interesting case study not only because sport holds a particularly important place in the national psyche but also due to the range of popular professional sports played. This book is a significant contribution to research in sports economics aimed at students and academics interested in both the economics of professional sports and public policy |
