摘要：独立的实证分析经常被用来反驳体育场馆可以作为经济催化剂的论断。然而，对最近体育场投资的批评通常是基于使用过时数据进行的研究。与 20 世纪 60 年代和 1970 年代建造的多功能、实用设施相比，当代体育场通常表现出不同的特征和用途。本研究通过使用当前数据重新构建一项具有里程碑意义的研究来测试体育场馆建设新背景的重要性。横截面时间序列分析中包含 19 个大都市区，代表 1984 年至 2001 年间每一个获得或失去 NFL 或 MLB 球队，或经历过此类球队体育场建设的城市。发现这些与体育相关的变量与 19 个大都市区中的 8 个地区的地区收入份额呈正相关。仔细观察研究结果表明，背景很重要。
ABSTRACT: Independent empirical analyses are often used to refute assertions that sports stadiums can serve as economic catalysts. Criticisms of recent stadium investments, however, are commonly based on studies conducted with data that it out of date. Current generation stadiums typically exhibit a different character and purpose than the multi-use, utilitarian facilities built in the 1960s and 1970s. This study tests the importance of the new context within which stadiums are built by recasting a landmark study with current data. Nineteen metropolitan areas are included in a cross-section time-series analysis, representing every city that gained or lost an NFL or MLB team, or experienced a stadium construction for such a team between 1984 and 2001. These sports-related variables are found to be positively correlated with regional income share for eight of the nineteen metropolitan areas. A closer look at the findings suggests that context matters.
