      • The North American Association of Sports Economists (NAASE) is an organization that promotes and facilitates research and teaching in the economics of sports. NAASE was founded in 2007. The organization emerged from the many sessions focused on sports economics at the Western Economic Association International (WEAI) meetings held throughout the 1990s and early 2000s. NAASE maintains a close relationship to the WEAI and the annual NAASE business meeting takes place at this conference. Although many NAASE members are academics, membership is open to anyone with an interest in sports economics, and NAASE counts undergraduate and graduate students in economics and other related disciplines like sport management as members, as well as non-economists with an interest in sports economics. Despite the regional scope implied by its name, NAASE has members from around the world, and many past and current officers have been from outside North America. NAASE currently has around 100 members.


      Journals


      The Journal of Sports Economics has been published in association with NAASE since 2008, and NAASE members receive discounted subscriptions to the journal. Beginning in February 2009, the Journal of Sports Economics began publishing an annual volume dedicated to papers from NAASE sponsored sessions at the Western Economic Association annual conference.
