Sports Economics as a Subdiscipline of Microeconomics

Öz

Purpose – Recognized as a respected subfield of economics worldwide, sports economics has a well-established academic and professional literature. However, in Turkey, it has yet to gain sufficient recognition among economists, limiting its development. This study aims to demonstrate why sports economics should be considered a subdiscipline of microeconomics. Methodology – This study theoretically establishes conceptual links between sports economics and general economic principles. Findings – It has been demonstrated that sports economics is closely related to microeconomic theories. Existing research in Turkey is primarily conducted from a sports sciences’ perspective, without sufficiently utilizing the theoretical and analytical tools provided by economics. This shortcoming limits the international visibility of academic studies in Turkish sports economics. Conclusions – The academic foundations of sports economics need to be strengthened. As in fields such as health and agricultural economics, recognizing sports economics as an independent subdiscipline of microeconomics would contribute to academic research and could provide valuable insights for policymakers and sports organizations.

Mikroekonominin Alt Disiplini Olarak Spor Ekonomisi: Kuramsal Temeller ve Türkiye’deki Konumu

Öz

Amaç - Tüm dünyada ekonomi biliminin saygın bir alt dalı olarak kabul gören spor ekonomisi, ülkemizde, ekonomistler tarafından henüz yeterince kabul görmemiş ve gelişimi sınırlı kalmıştır. Bu çalışma spor ekonomisinin neden mikroekonominin bir alt disiplini olduğunu ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Yöntem Bu çalışma, teorik olarak spor ekonomisi ile genel ekonomi prensipleri arasındaki kavramsal bağlantıları kurmaktadır. Bulgular – Spor ekonomisi, mikroekonomik teorilerle yakından ilişkili olduğu ortaya konumuştur. Türkiye’de yapılan mevcut araştırmalar daha çok spor bilimleri perspektifinden yürütülmekte olup, ekonomi disiplininin sunduğu teorik ve analitik araçlar yeterince kullanılmamaktadır. Bu eksiklik, spor ekonomisi alanında yapılan akademik çalışmaların uluslararası literatürde sınırlı bir görünürlüğe sahip olmasına neden olmaktadır Sonuç – Spor ekonomisinin akademik temellerinin güçlendirilmesi gerekmektedir. Sağlık ve tarım ekonomisi gibi alanlarda olduğu gibi, spor ekonomisinin de bağımsız bir mikroekonomi alt disiplini olarak kabul edilmesi, akademik araştırmalara katkı sağlayarak politika yapıcılar ve spor organizasyonları için değerli içgörüler sunabilir.
