Abstract

This paper estimates a human capital model for sports administrators and compares the results with the social capital model, based on a questionnaire distributed on the island of Madeira in 2001. The study disentangles the relative contributions of the two competing theories of earnings: the human capital and social capital theories, as applied to sports management. We conclude that sports administrators’ earnings are a function of both theories. Policy implications are derived.
