Handbook on the Economics of Women in Sports

Edited by Eva Marikova Leeds and Michael Leeds

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: 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.
