Long time no post. I'm using this medium to announce the schedule for the University of Florida's Competition Policy Workshop on June 4. This is a university-wide workshop put on jointly by the Department of Economics and the School of Law.
I want to thank Danny Sokol and Roger Blair--the organizers of this mini conference--for allowing me to be a part of the discussion. I encourage those in the UF community to attend. I know I will be learning a lot from my colleagues.
I will be speaking about the competition between teams within pro sports leagues and across pro sports leagues as it applies to cross-border fandom. This talk will cover much of what is in my most recent paper at the Journal of Sports Economicswith Mark Rosentraub. It will also extend the work to cross-sport competition for Canadian fans with respect to the Buffalo Bills. This extension is joint work with Jason Winfree (University of Idaho), Mark Rosentraub (University of Michigan), and a graduate student, Ekaterina Sorokina (University of Central Florida).
It should be fun, and I hope we will have a large and active audience!
