Market Power

Featuring “selected musings by an Academic Economist on the power of markets”, Market Power takes an interesting twist with many of its posts: it relates economic theories to sports. This makes for interesting reading, as you’ll see in subjects such as Globalization and Soccer, The NFL Salary Cap and an Incentive to Not Win and – just for you, Chicago – a PDF that documents the Empirical Analysis of the demand for White Sox and Cubs tickets. It’s not all economic theory, though - there are fun posts offering such treats as a recipe for Buttermilk Fried Chicken so you can chew on more than numbers for a while. Downloadable podcasts and PDFs, along with links to related blogs and studies, round out the collection of thoughts and opinions.
