This text, by three distinguished authors, applies the theories and techniques of economic analysis to sport and topics related to the business of sport. It builds on a basis of introductory microeconomics and continues the discussion, generally at an intermediate standard. The text has an international perspective, primarily the US, Canada, Europe and Australia, and contains relevant and entertaining case studies. The text suits both undergradute and postgraduate students in that while it provides a clear progression of topics throughout, it also incorporates optional sections in each chapters of a higher and more challenging level.

ROBERT SANDY is Associate Professor of Economics and Chair, Department of Economics, Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) PETER SLOANE is Professor of Economics, University of Swansea. MARK ROSENTRAUB is Professor and Dean at Maxine Goodman Levin College of Urban Affairs, Cleveland State University, USA
