The relative demands for sports and leisure in England
journal contribution
posted on 2014-06-12, 15:43 authored by Paul DownwardPaul Downward, Simona RasciuteSimona RasciuteThis paper contributes to an emergent but growing literature, which is
focusing on large-scale data analysis of mass participation sport. Distinct from the
existing literature, a model is proposed in which sport demand is examined relative to the
demand for other leisure, a structure suggested by micro-economic theory. Based on new
data for England, which has been collected by the government department responsible
for policy promoting Sport, Media and Culture, it is shown that the demand for sports is
dependent upon the demand for leisure for the activities defined by the data collection
exercise. This qualifies the existing literature and has implications for current policy.
