Abstract

Data collection for verification of economic models is often not easy. Data coming from laboratories can be distorted in comparison to data from the real environment. The sports environment offers an interesting source of data for research not only on the field of labour economics, thanks to its extensive records of performance, wages, and market prices of individual athletes. Sports betting and fantasy sports further extend this potential towards consumers. Data from this environment allow better recognition of the users? preferences, rational behaviour, or heuristics. This paper offers an outlining of the current state of economics focused on the use of the sports environment in research and shows some of the possibilities presented by sports betting and fantasy sports. As an example of that, the over-selection of athletes from the historically dominant teams in the fantasy league according to the Czech football competition in the season 2015-16 is investigated in the applied section. The results show the impact of this heuristic on the users? decision-making.

体育市场作为经济学的数据来源:特别强调博彩和梦幻体育
为验证经济模型而收集数据通常并不容易。与来自真实环境的数据相比,来自实验室的数据可能会失真。体育环境不仅为劳动经济学领域的研究提供了有趣的数据来源,还为运动员个人的表现、工资和市场价格提供了广泛的记录。体育博彩和梦幻体育进一步向消费者扩展了这种潜力。来自该环境的数据可以更好地识别用户?偏好、理性行为或启发式。本文概述了在研究中使用体育环境的经济学现状,并展示了体育博彩和梦幻体育所呈现的一些可能性。作为一个例子,根据2015-16赛季捷克足球比赛,在应用部分研究了幻想联赛中历史上占优势的球队的运动员的过度选择。结果显示了这种启发式对用户的影响。决策。
