One of the topics taught on econ217ab is the economics of sport. This coming year this section will be heavily influenced by the Olympics that just finished; in previous years the focus has been more towards football, and if you are interested in how economists think and approach football, you might be interested in the following new site: Football Perspectives.
The idea of this website is to provide blog-style posts which have slightly higher analytical content than might be standard in a blog post. It is similar in essence thus to Vox, a more general policy-orientated research blogging site.
Both are great resources and well worth a read if you're thinking of getting in some advanced reading ahead of the coming year's course!
This blog accompanies the econ217ab Contemporary Issues in the UK Economy course provided for intermediate economics undergraduates by the Department of Economics at the University of Birmingham. We will post on issues that are relevant for the material we lecture on during the course.
