DESCRIPTION
This course takes soccer as a laboratory to illustrate theories and discuss empirical evidence and methodologies about economic institutions, incentives and behavior in human societies. We study 1) professional soccer as a global industry within an institutional framework, and 2) professional soccer as a laboratory of wider economic and behavioral knowledge. Soccer is widely followed and generates a great amount of information. This is used here to explore the value of economic and social theories, and to learn about empirical tests and techniques related to these theories. Many examples in this course are based on FC Barcelona, but also on a variety of clubs, leagues and competitions.
