Sport and economic systems
The economics of sport sponsorship
Market research in sports

Governance of sport
Sport and ethics (transparence, accountability, democracy, sustainability, etc.)
Sport as entertainment
The economic and social impact of mega-events

We are especially interested in papers on sport in China and Asia, as well as other international themes. Contributions from other topic areas in sport economics will also be considered. Theoretical, empirical, as well as conceptual manuscripts are welcome. Completed research and research in progress are admissible. The language of the conference is English. However papers in Chinese could be part of the program in specific parallel sessions.
