Popis: | A peculiarity in professional sports is the fact that leagues regularly hold monopoly powerwithin their sports.However, whether and to what extent these leagues may compete with other leaguesacross sportsis relatively unexplored. This paper contributes to the literature by analyzing competition and fan substitution in Germany, where top-tier league managers in handball, basketball, and ice hockey have recently claimed that their teams suffer from football’s dominant position. Our attendance demand models confirm the existence of significant substitution effects in this setting, which suggests that leagues indeed do compete economicallyacross sportsfor fan attendance. |
