Sports Effect on Economic world

 Games ( football, cricket, Hockey, Olympic games,etc) also play a very good role in any country's Economy. 

Competitive Balance is one of the most important ideas within sports economics. This idea, in general, refers to the comparison of wins between all teams in a league. Rottenberg, effectively built this seminal idea with his interest in "dispersion of games won." Related to competitive balance is the understanding of different leagues and different team within those leagues objectives. Understanding the ownership structure and motives of front office personnel through their financial, read economic, decisions will reveal whether a team is looking to only generate profit, attempt to win a championship, or something entirely different. Making sense of human behavior through data is the central idea of economics and certainly applies to Sports Economics as well.

 Sports leagues look to promote competitive balance to make more games appealing to fans to watch, both in person and on TV. Many European leagues achieve competitive balance through promotion and relegation systems where multiple leagues are intertwined with teams moving between leagues based upon performance. Most sports leagues in the United States are standalone league and work towards competitive balance through other measures. These can include salary caps and roster size limits.

The Importance


                Sometimes Sports Economics can be dismissed as a side hobby for number crunchers. However, with the proliferation of globalized sports markets as well as the extreme rise in sports media, the economics of sport cannot be dismissed. In the United States, the Super Bowl regularly commands the attention of millions. In the EU, over 15 million people are employed in the sports world. On a larger scale, sports and sporting outlets provide immense health benefits as well as general satisfaction for a citizenry which are both prominent state concerns the world over. Another great feature of Sports Economics is the data rich environment that sports provide. In sports there are ample data sets provided from which economists can easily apply and investigate common economic models or problems, thus contributing to the field of economics at large.

Types of Business Economics

Managerial Economics                  Managerial economics is a field of study within business economics that focuses on the microeconomic factors that influence the decision-making processes with an organization.

International Trade Economic Effect

  International trade is the exchange of capital, goods, and services across international borders or territories because there is a need or want of goods or services. In most countries, such trade represents a significant share of gross domestic product (GDP). While international trade has existed throughout history (for example Uttarapatha, Silk Road, Amber Road, scramble for Africa, Atlantic slave trade, salt roads), its economic, social, and political importance has been on the rise in recent centuries. Carrying out trade at an international level is a complex process when compared to domestic trade. When trade takes place between two or more states factors like currency, government policies, economy, judicial system, laws, and markets influence trade. Characteristics of global trade A product that is transferred or sold from a party in one country to a party in another country is an export from the originating country, and an import to the country receiving that product.

Inflation Effects On Economy

 Inflation In economics, inflation refers to a general progressive increase in prices of goods and services in an economy. When the general price level rises, each unit of currency buys fewer goods and services; consequently, inflation corresponds to a reduction in the purchasing power of money. The opposite of inflation is deflation, a sustained decrease in the general price level of goods and services. The common measure of inflation is the inflation rate , the annualised percentage change in a general price index. Prices will not all increase at the same rates. Attaching a representative value to a set of prices is an instance of the index number problem. The consumer price index is often used for this purpose; the employment cost index is used for wages in the United States. Differential movement between consumer prices and wages constitutes a change in the standard of living. Definition The term inflation appeared in America in the mid-nineteenth century, “not in referenc...
