“Win-Win in Sport and Business”

Dr. Tainsky utilizes economics and quantitative analysis to research major professional, intercollegiate and amateur sports. At the core of this research are the decisions made by high level sports managers and how they impact both organizational performance and the collective well-being of fans. To date his projects have focused on demand for tickets and game broadcasts, league efficiency, player performance, and corporate social responsibility in the largest US-based sports leagues (NFL, MLB, NBA, NCAA Football, US Paralympics) as well as several abroad in Canada, China, Europe, and Africa.
