Seminar: Sports economics
First and foremost, the seminar is designed to serve you as an introduction to academic work and thereby prepares you for your bachelor thesis.
During the seminar, we will survey a set of current topics in the analysis of the economics of professional team sports (e.g., football spectator no-show behavior). For example, we will consider different analytic strategies for explaining variations in the demand for professional team sports (e.g., football/soccer) and better understanding the important but ambiguous role of competitive balance and uncertainty with regard to the expected game outcome therein.
After an opening session where potential topics are explained and distributed, you will work on your term paper which is presented in a second session.
