Abstract: This paper provides estimates on the determinants of the per capita demand for membership in the United States Chess Federation (USCF) from 1946–1990. The USCF is the principal body in this country which promotes and sponsors chess activities. The empirical results confirm not only hypotheses derived from the law of demand concerning the effects from price, income, taste changes, and efforts by the USCF to increase membership, but also implications from allocation of time decisions concerning work-leisure tradeoffs.
