An inquiry into the factors affecting the demand for professional baseball

The factors influencing shifts in the demand for professional baseball are investigated. Initially, the logical framework behind attendance patterns is presented as a prelude to the theoretical model. Graphical analysis and classical optimization techniques are then used to transform the model logic...
