Shmanske and Kahane have brought together nearly all of the important authors in        the quickly growing field of Sports Economics to contribute chapters to this        two-volume set. All of the authors are writing about subjects that they love and        subjects that they have devoted years of study to. The result is truly informative        in its content and path breaking in its importance to the field. Anyone        contemplating research in the field of sports economics will find the works in 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 the organizational        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. The limits of Econometrics are        pushed and illustrated with superb data in many of the papers herein. Topics in        Applied microeconomics like demand estimation and price discrimination are also        covered 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. Every major team sport is        covered, and many interesting comparisons can be made especially between the North        American League organization and the European-style promotion and relegation        leagues. Golf, NASCAR, College athletics, Women's sports, the Olympics, and even        bowling are represented in these pages. There is literally something for        everyone.
