This year’s Pro Bono Economics (PBE) lecture welcomed Simon Kuper (Financial Times columnist and co-author of Soccernomics) to the Royal Institution to ask the audience: “Has Britain got sport upside down?”
The event brought together renowned experts from sports, health, economics and the media to explore challenging questions on the relationship between sport, public health and the economy in Britain today.
PBE trustee Professor Diane Coyle hosted a panel discussion and invited contributions from the audience. Simon Kuper was joined on the panel by:
Pro Bono Economics, established in 2009 by Martin Brookes (Tomorrow’s People) and Andy Haldane (Bank of England), is a charity that matches professional economists, working as volunteers or on a voluntary basis, with charities and social enterprises that want to understand and improve their impact and value.
This event was generously supported by Nomura (www.nomura.com) and Weil (www.weil.com).
