Ways of Improving How NBA is Run

The basic idea for the project is to develop a research proposal for a topic of your choice. The research question may be related to one of the topics covered in class or another suitably appropriate area of research in the area of sports economics. I recommend sketching an idea after the first day of class, and then revising it throughout the quarter as you read the course materials and have a chance to think more about the economics of sports and your interests.

Suggested Length for Written Paper and Presentation

The written paper that you turn in should be between 5-6 pages long (not including up to 2 pages of tables and/or graphs). The project must be word processed and double-spaced using 12-point Times New Roman font and 1-inch margins on the top/bottom/left/right.

Presentations should be 4-6 minutes in length. You should prepare a short set of slides to be used for the presentation. Slides must be emailed to me by 12:00pm on the due date to receive full credit.
