Handbook on the Economics of Women in Sports
Edited by Eva Marikova Leeds and Michael A. Leeds
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.
