摘要

关于对女子篮球的兴趣，有相当多的讨论，批评者经常将国家女子篮球协会（WNBA）和国家篮球协会（NBA）进行比较。这种比较是有问题的，因为WNBA正处于早期成长阶段，而NBA的组织生命周期地位要成熟得多。我们通过将WNBA第8-21赛季的上座率数据与NBA历史和当前NBA同一时期的上座人数进行比较，来调查早期成长联盟的需求特征是否相似。我们发现，在这两个时期，影响WNBA需求的因素在规模和意义上都与NBA不同；因此，将这两个联赛进行比较是不恰当的。

Demand for Basketball: A Comparison of the WNBA and NBA

There is considerable discussion regarding interest in women’s basketball, with critics often comparing the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) and the National Basketball Association (NBA). This comparison is problematic because the WNBA is in an early growth phase while the NBA organizational life cycle position is far more mature. We investigate whether the demand features of early growth leagues are similar by comparing attendance data from the 8th‒21st seasons of the WNBA with attendance from the same point in NBA history and the current NBA. We find the factors that affect demand in the WNBA are uniquely different than the NBA in both size and significance in either period; thus, it is inappropriate to compare the two leagues.
