• Globalisation in sports
• Market and economic analyses of leagues and sports teams
• Productivity measurements of player performance
• Linkages of productivity and wages
• Financial aspects of sports
• Salary caps in professional team sports
• Performance measurement of different leagues and their comparisons
• Estimations of demand for sports and sporting events
• Cost benefit analyses of major sporting events
• Advertising revenue and marketing in sports
