Bereits in den 1950er Jahren gab es Literaturhinweise, dass die Wettbewerber in Sportligen von annähernd gleicher Größe und Stärke sein sollten, um dem sportlichen Wettkampf die größtmögliche Attraktivität zu verleihen und das Interesse der Zuschauer sicherzustellen. Dieser Zusammenhang konnte im Profifußball bisher kaum nachgewiesen werden. Tim Pawlowski kombiniert erstmals die Vorteile und Stärken ökonomischer Ansätze mit jenen marketingbezogener Ansätze. Damit liefert die Studie einen innovativen Zugang zur empirischen Überprüfung der vieldiskutierten Unsicherheitshypothese im Profisport.

This book lays down a marker as to the state of economists’ understanding of the National Football League (NFL) by assembling sophisticated, critical surveys of by leading sports economists on major topics associated with the league.  The book is divided into four parts.  The first three chapters in Part I provide an overview of the business of the NFL from an economist’s perspective.  Part II is a collection of surveys of the economics of the NFL’s most important revenue streams, including media, attendance, and merchandising.  The NFL’s labor economics is the focus of Part III, with chapters on player and coach labor markets, the draft, and contract structure.  Part IV includes essays on competitive balance, gambling, economic impacts of the Super Bowl, behavioral economic issues associated with the league, and antitrust issues.  This book will appeal to sports economists, sports management professionals, and policy-makers, and would be useful as a supplementary text for sports economics and management courses as well as a reference text.

Interest in politics and the political process—topics that economists consider to be the purview of the sub-field of study known as public choice—appears to be as high as ever. This Special Issue aims to provide a collection of high-quality studies covering many of the varied topics traditionally investigated in the growing field of public choice economics. These include expressive and instrumental voting, checks and balances in the enforcement of rules, electoral disproportionality, foreign aid and political freedom, voting cycles, (in)stability of political ideology, federal spending on environmental goods, pork-barrel and general appropriations spending, politics and taxpayer funding for professional sports arenas, and political scandal and “friends-and-neighbors” voting in general elections. In bringing these topics together in one place, this Special Issue offers a mix of conceptual/formal and empirical studies in public choice economics.
