The Uruguayan Society of Economists invites you to its "Agenda Dialogue" series, which will examine the process of awarding television rights for Uruguayan soccer—a key issue at the intersection of sports, economics, and regulation.
The discussion will cover the various possible allocation mechanisms, the role of competition in the bidding for rights, and its implications for prices, product quality, and consumer access. It will also address the incentives of the various stakeholders—clubs, companies, and regulators—and the potential consequences in terms of efficiency and welfare.
