Los avances en la valoración económica del deporte en Europa

Abstract

This work focuses on the advances that have occurred in Europe in the economic valuation of sport at the macroeconomic level.

On that basis, we discuss the progress that has been produced in this area. The following is a special reference to Spain, including a tentative approach to the economic weight of sport.
