Economic Analysis of the Relocation of the Raiders

Abstract

Initially stationed in Oakland, the Raiders moved to Los Angeles in 1982, then back to Oakland in 1995, before relocating to Las Vegas in time for the 2020 season. Raider's departure has had a different economic impact on both Oakland and Las Vegas. This article analyzes the relocation behavior of the Raider's Department from the perspective of two cities and concludes that the Raider's Department has an economic impact on both Oakland and Las Vegas, the context and timing of which will depend on how the government regulations it.
