Are Sports Teams Multi-Product Firms? By Kenneth G. Stewart; J. C. H. Jones

By:	Kenneth G. Stewart (Department of Economics, University of Victoria); J. C. H. Jones (Department of Economics, University of Victoria)
Abstract:	The appropriate conception of team outputs is investigated by estimating a two-output factor demand system for baseball teams, relative to which single-output models are rejected. There is, however, some empirical support for output separability, suggesting that team outputs may sometimes be adequately treated as a production aggregate.
Keywords:	Sports economics, multi-output production
