ECN 301 - The Economics of Sports

Semester Hours: 3
Students will examine economic issues surrounding the professional sports industry in the United States. The course is organized into three major sections: Industrial Organization, Public Finance, and Labor Markets. We will examine the industrial structure of pro sports by briefly exploring the history of sports leagues and analyzing the impact that the monopoly-like status has on the profitability of teams, on player salaries, on fan welfare, and on the size of subsidies that state and local governments are paying to sports franchises for stadium construction.

Pre-requisites: ECN 230 - Principles of Microeconomics  or ECN 235 - Principles of Macroeconomics .

Offered: occasionally.
