A coherent methodology is proposed for assessing the economic impact of sport. This impact is estimated for the United Kingdom in 1985. The method of national income accounting is adopted, with an expansion of the conventional sectors to permit the commercial sport and voluntary sectors to be identified explicitly. Estimates are given for sport-related final expenditure, value-added and employment and these are compared with other areas of economic activity in the UK. Certain financial flows between sectors are also identified, including government income and expenditure, and the balance of payments
