This interdisciplinary Handbook combines both mainstream and
heterodox economics to assess the nature, scope and importance of
leisure activity. Surprisingly, the field of leisure economics is
not, thus far, a particularly integrated or coherent one. In this
Handbook a wide ranging body of international scholars get to grips
with this issue, taking in the traditional income/leisure choice
model of textbook microeconomics and Becker's allocation of time
model along the way. They expertly apply economics to some usually
neglected topics, such as boredom, sleeping and social networking
which encourages a move towards an integrate field of economics of
leisure. Contributions from further afield by Veblen, Sctivosky and
Bourdieu also feature prominently. Applying a mix of theoretical
and empirical work, undergraduate students in modules on
sport/leisure economics as well as sport/leisure management will
find this important resource invaluable. Contributors: V.
