The 4th sportseconomics.org workshop on sport and economics, funded by the Centre for Analysis and Risk, the Centre for Sports Economics and Law and Cork University Business School will be held on Monday 23rd and Tuesday 24th of July 2018 at University College Cork.
The theme of these year's event is sports betting and a selection of academic papers in the area will be presented over the two days.
General Information
Betting on sports is an enormously popular activity, which earns significant revenues, enhances many fans’ sense of emotional involvement with sports, and, on the downside, causes substantial welfare loss to people who gamble recklessly or addictively. For the economist interested in people’s preferences over risk, and the interaction of these preferences with their beliefs about probabilities, sports betting provides a field setting almost ideally designed for supporting rich inferences. Policy makers and regulators who have responsibilities associated with sports, leisure, and gambling can gain crucial insights into, and predictive leverage over, responses to changes in odds and incentives through observations of naturally occurring sports betting, as well as through economists’ laboratory and field experiments with punters. The CEAR workshop on Sports Betting brings together both researchers who specialize in the economics of sport, and theoretical and experimental risk specialists who use sports betting contexts as environments for establishing more general insights into risky choice.
