Women's sports have received much less attention from economists
than from other social scientists. This Handbook fills that gap
with a comprehensive economic analysis of women's sports. It also
analyzes how the behavior and treatment of female athletes reflect
broad economic forces.Contributors to this volume use current
theoretical models and econometric tools to examine the legal,
social, and economic forces that affect the experiences of female
athletes. They address such traditional topics as discrimination
against female athletes and coaches and the effect of athletic
events on the economies of host countries. They also apply theory
and estimation to new settings, such as how women respond to
tournaments in skiing and figure skating or how the growing
dominance of Korean women on the LPGA tour is a form of
immigration. This groundbreaking book is a valuable resource for
professors, students, and researchers in sports economics, sports
management, and women's studies. Contributors: S.L. Averett, D.J.
