摘要

明星球员凯特琳-克拉克（Caitlin Clark）带来的爱荷华大学女子篮球比赛上座率的增长，使爱荷华市声称获得了巨大的经济效益。本文利用每日酒店入住率数据分析了克拉克的明星效应所带来的游客流入量。研究结果显示了一种令人惊讶的模式：在克拉克的大三赛季，酒店入住率确实大幅提高，但在她的大四赛季，即使比赛上座率大幅提高，酒店入住率的增幅却小得多。当地球迷从男篮比赛转战女篮比赛，从而为外地游客留下了较少的女篮座位，这似乎至少在一定程度上解释了克拉克大四赛季较小的酒店入住率效应。

Caitlin Clark's surprising economic impact

Increases in attendance for University of Iowa's women's basketball games caused by star player Caitlin Clark have led to claims of large economic benefits for Iowa City. This paper uses daily hotel occupancy data to analyze the visitor inflow arising from Clark's stardom. The findings show a surprising pattern: hotel occupancy did increase substantially during Clark's junior season but showed a much smaller increase during her senior season, even with considerably higher game attendance. Local fans substituting from men's games to women's games, thereby leaving fewer women's basketball seats available for out-of-town visitors, appears to explain at least some of the smaller hotel occupancy effect in Clark's senior season.

期刊介绍： Many economists today are concerned by the proliferation of journals and the concomitant labyrinth of research to be conquered in order to reach the specific information they require. To combat this tendency, Economics Letters has been conceived and designed outside the realm of the traditional economics journal. As a Letters Journal, it consists of concise communications (letters) that provide a means of rapid and efficient dissemination of new results, models and methods in all fields of economic research.
