Ever-Increasing Media Broadcast Rights

from Sports Economics · host Dr Liam Lenten

We consider the link between the Russell Crowe character in the film 'A Beautiful Mind' (John Nash) and why media rights deals in sports have exploded in the last generation, helping to make earnings of top professional athletes many times that of the average wage. Some material in these videos is based on textbook examples from: Sports Economics (3rd edn.) Selection from Fort, Leeds and von Allmen for Ross Booth (Monash University) and Liam Lenten (La Trobe University). Copyright 2012 La Trobe University, all rights reserved. Contact for permissions.
