Abstract:<\/strong><\/p>\n Using a well-known German soccer club\u00a0 Borussia Monchengladbach\u00a0 as an example the present article deals with some supplemaentary regional economic effects of soccer clubs. Theoretica considerations suggest that such effects appear, because soccer clubs can raise a citys awareness level itself and can result in a psychic income and improve its image, can be a relevant location factor by accruing to the inhabitants of the city. All these effects are not only of direct interest for regional economic development, but they can indirectly increase the number of firms settling in the region and\/or the level of regional tourism. These theoretical considerations are empirically tested by different methodological approaches\u00a0 survey of households, survey of experts and media presence analysis. The empirical analysis shows that Borussia Monchengladbach releases an impulse to its location city that noticeably exceeds normal demand-side effects. This impulse\u00a0 is connected with\u00a0 the mentioned theoretical aspects. Though all attempts to quantifiy the supplementary effects can only give a rough impression of its true dimension of these effects, it can be stated that the supplementary effects of a sport club (or a major sporting event) are at least as important as demand-side effects normally are are. read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Rudiger Hamm\u00a0 Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences Abstract: Using a well-known German soccer club\u00a0 Borussia Monchengladbach\u00a0 as an example the present article deals with some supplemaentary regional economic effects of soccer clubs.
