Every summer, a large number of the
world's sports economists meet for a
conference in a major city in the western
United States. If the schedule permits, the
economists always try to go to a local
sporting event, such as a MLB, MLS, or
National Women's Soccer League (NWSL)
game while they are there. Should the
economists spending at these events count
as economic impact for the city? Why or
why not? Be specific and provide your own examples and opinions.
