Abstract

I examine the effect of major sports stadium construction in the Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington-MN/WI MSA on local construction industry employment. I use publicly available quarterly data from the first quarter of 2001 to the fourth quarter of 2019, and I employ ARCH methodology. During the sample period, four major sports stadiums were built in the metro area. I find little evidence that stadium construction correlated with a change in construction industry employment levels. However, the mathematical signs on the significant parameters are not consistent with each other. Moreover, the significance is not robust to alternative model specifications.
