The Sport of Curling

Econ Buff Podcast #8 with Anne Barthel


Dr. Anne Barthel talks with me about the sport of curling. We discuss what curling is, how it works, and how the sport is organized. Amateurism and the Olympics is examined. We talk about strategies in the game and team construction. We consider competitive balance of curling, at the amateur level and at the Olympic level. We explore the facilities the sport is played in at different levels and how Dr. Barthel views the future of the sport.
