The sports industry is regarded as an exceptional setting to analyse economic theories and phenomena, because of the availability of data on wages, employment history and productivity measures over a long period of time (Kahn, 2000). Research in sports economics is crucial to understand the potential impacts of introducing policies and regulations in sports leagues. For example, issues such wage gaps because of skill differences, labour market discrimination, job search and match theory and the incentives for corruption can all be analysed using the sports industry.I intend to address a number of important questions in this proposal, and also look to explore issues that are becoming increasingly important in modern day sports. First, the extent to which transfer fees and player salaries have increased in the last few years alone is startling. From an economic perspective, we would expect that highly skilled professionals should be paid higher salaries and should be sorted into the most successful clubs. Second, there is a current lively debate regarding the lack of progress in ensuring equal opportunities are given to players and coaches from ethnic minorities in football. While other sports have had some deal of success in addressing this issue, such as American football, European football has been criticised for its lack of attention to this issue.

体育产业被认为是分析经济理论和现象的一个特殊背景，因为可以获得长期的工资、就业历史和生产率衡量数据（Kahn，2000年）。体育经济学的研究对于理解体育联盟中引入政策和法规的潜在影响至关重要。例如，技能差异导致的工资差距、劳动力市场歧视、求职和匹配理论以及腐败诱因等问题都可以通过体育产业进行分析。我打算在本提案中解决一些重要问题，并探讨在现代体育中变得越来越重要的问题。首先，仅在过去几年里，转会费和球员工资的增长幅度就令人震惊。从经济的角度来看，我们希望高技能的专业人士应该得到更高的薪水，并应该被归类到最成功的俱乐部。第二，目前正在激烈辩论在确保少数民族足球运动员和教练获得平等机会方面缺乏进展的问题。虽然其他体育运动在解决这个问题方面取得了一些成功，如美式足球，但欧洲足球因缺乏对这个问题的关注而受到批评。
