Gender and skill convergence in professional golf

In: Handbook on the Economics of Women in Sports

Author

Listed:
  • Stephen Shmanske

Abstract

Women’s sports have received much less attention from economists than from other social scientists. This Handbook fills that gap with a comprehensive economic analysis of women’s sports. It also analyzes how the behavior and treatment of female athletes reflect broad economic forces.
