Study on the contribution of sport to economic growth and employment in the EU
study commissioned by the European Commission, Directorate-General Education and Culture, final report
The Study on the Contribution of Sport to Economic Growth and Employment in the European Union was carried out in 2011-2012, based on data collection in all 27 EU Member States focussing on sport as an economic activity. The methodology utilised a specific adaptation of the National Accounts of the Member States, using these accounts to make a Multiregional Input-Output Table: Sport (MRIOT:S which is based on 27 national Input-Output Tables: Sport. This means that the chosen approach is consistent with the National Accounts on the one hand and intra-EU trade on the other.
