"Oyer has given us the definitive Freakonomics for sports—a fun and insightful account of what happens when economic thinking intersects with the world of sports."—Andrew Zimbalist, author of Whither College Sports: Amateurism, Athlete Safety and Academic Integrity “With his original focus on how an economist looks at different aspects of sports, Paul Oyer gives us a brilliant new perspective that is both enlightening and engaging. A very insightful book that will surely change the way you look at sports.”—Ignacio Palacios-Huerta, London School of Economics “Paul Oyer applies his considerable analytical skills to study sports phenomena such as corruption, ticket scalping, child prodigies, the Olympics, and many others. I highly recommend this book to sports fans, students, and researchers for some fascinating economic analyses.”—Lawrence M. Kahn, Cornell University 🙌 Out today, “AN ECONOMIST GOES TO THE GAME: How to Throw Away $580 Million and Other Surprising Insights from the Economics of Sports,” by economist and @stanford business school professor Paul Oyer. ⚽️🏀🏈⚾️🎾🏓⛳️ cc @yalebooks
