Handbook on the Economics of Sport

Edited by Wladimir Andreff, Honorary Professor of Economics, Department of Economics, University of Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne, France and Stefan Szymanski, University of Michigan, US

'The editors should be commended for taking on such a big task, and succeeding so well. This book should be in the library of every institution where students have to write a paper that may be related to sport, or on the shelf of any lecturer teaching economics or public finance who has even a remote interest in sport. The material is very accessible, and useful in many different settings.'
