Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans continually cross paths with major industries that comprise the U.S. economy. These industries face and raise challenging issues that in turn generate important economic questions: How are individual industries organized and structured? What share of their market do they represent? What are the major public policy issues they affect? What are the economic consequences of addressing them? A single text examining every industry would provide a disjointed, haphazard analysis. The case-study approach taken in The Structure of American Industry avoids such shortcomings. The expert author of each case studyfourteen in allpresents a comprehensive and coherent analysis of a specific industry. The holistic, in-depth treatment sparks lively interest, does not succumb to theoretical abstractions, and offers practical answers to economic questions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary purpose of this study was to investigate the impact on graduation rates of student-athletes at NCAA Division I institutions that resulted from the NCAA's Proposition 48. The study focused on Proposition 48 and the graduation rates of student-athletes in comparison to the entire student body, and how these same graduation rates compare for student-athletes on the basis of race and gender. Tests of significance were conducted on graduation rates of student-athletes and non student-athletes, black student-athletes and white student-athletes, and female student-athletes and male student-athletes. Only students, both athletes and non athletes, who entered NCAA Division I colleges between 1983 and 1990 were included in the study. The entering class size of each of the eight years studied ranged from 529,047 (1990) to 575,430 (1988) with the student-athlete category representing approximately 2.5% of the total. The results of the study indicate that the graduation rates of student-athletes compared to non student-athletes did increase during the 1983-1990 time period. The study also showed that for the 1989 and 1990 years, black student-athletes, who in the past have lagged behind white student-athletes in terms of graduation rates, graduated at a higher rate than white student-athletes. Finally, the study points out that female student-athletes have consistently graduated at a rate higher than expected compared to male student-athletes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this compellingly argued and deeply personal book, respected sports historian Michael Oriard--who was himself a former second-team All-American at Notre Dame--explores a wide range of trends that have changed the face of big-time college football and transformed the role of the student-athlete. Oriard considers such issues as the politicization of football in the 1960s and the implications of the integration of college football. The heart of the book examines a handful of decisions by the NCAA in the early seventies--to make freshmen eligible to play, to lower admission standards, and, most critically, to replace four-year athletic scholarships with one-year renewable scholarships--that helped transform student-athletes into athlete-students and turned the college game into a virtual farm league for professional football. Oriard then traces the subsequent history of the sport as it has tried to grapple with the fundamental contradiction of college football as both extracurricular activity and multi-billion-dollar mass entertainment. The relentless necessity to pursue revenue, Oriard argues, undermines attempts to maintain academic standards, and it fosters a football culture in which athletes are both excessively entitled and exploited. As a former college football player, Oriard brings a unique perspective to his topic, and his sympathies are always with the players and for the game. This original and compelling study will interest everyone concerned about the future of college football.

Book excerpt: The Toolbox Revisited is a data essay that follows a nationally representative cohort of students from high school into postsecondary education, and asks what aspects of their formal schooling contribute to completing a bachelor's degree by their mid-20s. The universe of students is confined to those who attended a four-year college at any time, thus including students who started out in other types of institutions, particularly community colleges.
