`Disequilibrium Sports Economics: Competitive Imbalance and Budget Constraints introduces a new research area in sport management. . . . it touches on important topics surrounding team-sport leagues. The book certainly provides not only a sport-economic aspect but also a communication/media aspect of sport. Sport management faculty and students could use the book as excellent supplemental reading.' -- International Journal of Sport Communication `Andreff and his contributors bring a strong dose of reality to the economic modelling of sports leagues. Disequilibrium Sports Economics provides an intellectually compelling opening and a theoretically necessary antidote to the study of sports economics.' -- Andrew Zimbalist, Smith College, US `This is an interesting book worth reading for every sports economist because it introduces a thought provoking approach to the growing field of sports economics. The authors show how disequilibrium economics may improve our understanding of puzzling economic phenomena in sports. I congratulate the editor and the contributors for this new book and the novel perspectives provided therein!' -- Helmut M. Dietl, University of Zurich, Switzerland 'I felt great intellectual excitement after getting acquainted with this volume. The high quality papers by Wladimir Andreff and his co-authors are more significant than the topic indicated modestly by the title; they may not only urge economists of sport to reconsider their earlier theories, but may also provide inspiration and a new momentum to the wide research program on disequilibrium and the soft budget constraint.' -- Janos Kornai, Harvard University, US and Corvinus University of Budapest, Hungary 'This book sounds like a theoretical breakthrough towards a new approach in sports economics that generates important insights into the issue of financial fair play in football.' -- Andrea Traverso, Head of Club Licensing and Financial Fair Play, UEFA 'This path-breaking volume contains novel analysis of problems of critical importance to sports clubs, leagues, fans and academics interested in sports.' -- Robert Simmons, Lancaster University Management School, UK `As a whole, the book provides an original and realistic view that can and perhaps even must shape the future of sports economics.' -- Nicolas Scelles, Journal of Economics and Political Economy
