Exploring the Economic Choice to Participate in Sport: Results from the 2002 General Household Survey

Author

  • Paul Downward

Abstract

This article explores the decision to participate in sports activities in the United Kingdom using a qualitative choice framework. The consistency of the results with neoclassical theories of leisure, and heterodox economic theory, which embraces a psychological view of decision making and structure of demand, is assessed. Finding more support for the latter perspective, the implications of this for sports policy are discussed.
