On December 13 and 14 2022, the Sport Cluster of the Department of Economics at the University of Reading will host the 2nd Reading Football Economics Workshop.<\/p>\n

We invite submissions for presentation from authors of work that uses football (however liberally defined), and has some economic content or motivation (again, the definition will be liberal). Please submit abstracts here (link)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We are very pleased that Christina Philippou<\/a> of the University of Portsmouth, Jorge Tovar<\/a> of Universidad de Los Andes in Colombia, and Justus Haucap<\/a> of Heinrich Heine University D\u00fcsseldorf will be our keynote speakers.<\/p>\n

This two day event will take place on the two days of the FIFA Men’s World Cup Semi Finals, and social events will involve viewing those two events. We anticipate watching the two games in The Dairy, which serves food and good beer options at the heart of our London Road Campus.<\/p>\n
