Competitive Structure Of Turkish Basketball Leagues And Relationship With Sport Industry
Abstract
In this study, the levels of competition for the 2014-2017 seasons of the clubs operating in Turkish Basketball leagues are investigated. In addition to the Basketball Super Lig, the Turkish Basketball 1st League and the Turkish Basketball 2nd League (two groups), which are two lower leagues, are included in the review. By computing competition levels in the upper and lower leagues, it is compared over the years whether the level of competition is changed (deteriorate / not deteriorate) as rising from the lower leagues to the upper leagues
The market structure and competition levels of basketball leagues are determined by the methodology of concentration indices. The most commonly used in the literatür "n" firm concentration index CR4 and Herfindahl Hirschman Index (HHI) calculation methods are used. According to the analysis results, among the Super League teams the CR-4 concentration index scores are calculated as 0.29, 0.27, 0.29 and 0.30 for the 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 seasons respectively. According to HHI results, it is calculated as 221, 193, 212 and 229 respectively in the related years. When the results of the concentration indices are considered as a whole, the Basketball Leagues have a weak oligopolistic market structure in all the categories. As passing from Turkish Basketball 2nd League to Turkish Basketball 1st League competition partially increase, but the competition level (index scores) in the top league Turkish Basketball Super League deteriorate. In general, the lower leagues have a similar level of competition in the upper leagues and it is seen this level of competition does not change over the years.Keywords
