Zusammenfassung

Kernproblem empirischer Forschung ist die Bestimmung von Kausalitäten aus Korrelationen. Experimente können das Problem lösen. Der folgende Beitrag stellt Labor-, Online-, Feld- und Quasi-Experimente vor und nennt jeweils bedeutende Beispiele aus der Sportökonomik. Aufgrund der hervorragenden Datenlage sind sportökonomische Quasi-Experimente über den Sport hinaus interessant für unterschiedlichste Fragestellungen aus der Wirtschaftspolitik, insbesondere der Wettbewerbspolitik, ferner für Verhaltensökonomik, Recht, Psychologie, Marketing, Management und Personalökonomik.

Dieser Beitrag ist Teil der Sektion Sportökonomik, herausgegeben von den Teilherausgebern Eike Emrich und Christian Pierdzioch, innerhalb des Handbuchs Sport und Sportwissenschaft, herausgegeben von Arne Güllich und Michael Krüger.
