Abstract: |
Sport
is today an increasingly widespread phenomenon and the interest in its study
has outstandingly increased in the last decades, especially in the field of
Economics due to the emergence of the Economy of Sport. Nonetheless, both the
complexity of sport as a concept and the lack of statistical data about it
make sport an element of analysis with many aspects still to be researched.
This paper aims at setting up a model which will
allow forecasting the evolution of sport in the future. Thus, we have
obtained the so-called “GDP of sport” for the period from 1995 to 2006
(period 1995-2006). This measure reflects the share of goods and services
connected with sport in national GDP. In this text, we bring forward a
methodology to obtain this evolution of the GDP of sport and detail the
sources consulted in order to obtain the necessary information, getting over
the hurdle of the lack of statistical data already commented upon. |
