This course is intended to apply concepts of analytic management and data science to the sports world. Emphasis on model building and application of models studied previously, including economics and econometrics, is intended to deepen the students’ ability to apply these skills in other areas as well. The course will address papers at the research frontier, since those papers are an opportunity to learn about the latest thinking. The papers will both be interested in sports intrinsically, and interested in sports as a way to assess other theories that are a part of business education.
