Cedric Duvinage shows that economic theory allows to develop a deeper understanding of the role of a referee in a contest as well as of the danger of sports corruption by considering a referee’s influence on the competitors’ strategies in a contest. These insights provide the basis for efficient anti-corruption policies as well as their urgent implementation resulting from the current legal ambiguity regarding the prosecution of sports corruption in Germany.PPN: PPN: 1651229430Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-SBE | ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-SMA | ZDB-2-SXMS
