This volume comprises scientific contributions in the context of the 5th annual conference of the European Association of Sports Economics (ESEA), which took place in September 2013 in Esbjerg, Denmark. It contains five articles on UEFA’s financial fair play regulation in European football, written by internationally renowned sports economists like Stefan Szymanski, Joel Maxcy and Sean Hamil. Moreover, a further three chapters deal with football topics like the dismissal of coaches or competitive balance. Furthermore, the economics of sports events - the Olympics as well as local events - are analyzed by well-known scholars like Wladimir Andreff and Placido Rodriguez. Next to team sports, new developments of the economics of individual sports like cycling, ski-jumping and motor-racing are explored.
