Monopsony in Labor Markets: A Review (2020, background): “In US professional sports, a clear link is seen between the removal of anti-competitive labor practices and rises in the share of revenue going to athletes (see Kahn 2000 for a review).”
Testing Causality Between Team Performance and Payroll (2002, background): “Limited evidence of salary discrimination has been found in baseball (see Kahn, 2000).”
A multidisciplinary survey on discrimination analysis (2013, methodology): “We cover a few recent papers adopting nonstandard tools, for older references see Kahn (1991b, 2000, 2009).”
The impact of managerial quality on organizational performance: evidence from German soccer (2008, background): “As Kahn (2000) has persuasively argued, the sports industry is a useful sector within which to test interesting hypotheses in the area of personnel economics.”
Goal! Profit Maximization Versus Win Maximization in Soccer (2009, background): “Sports leagues are often thought of as natural testing grounds for many theories (see, e.g., Kahn 2000 ).”
The effect of wage dispersion on team outcome and the way team outcome is produced (2011, unknown): “Professional sports offer some important advantages for empirical studies of organizational and personnel issues (Kahn, 2000): First, in most sports a large panel data set is available due to the frequency and regularity of athletic events.”
What shapes player performance in soccer? Empirical findings from a panel analysis (2007, background): “…basketball or American football, which have been analysed since the 1950s (e.g. Scully, 1974, 1995; MacDonald and Reynolds, 1994; Hamilton, 1997; Richards and Guell, 1998; Bodvarsson and Brastow, 1999; Kahn, 2000; Rosen and Sanderson, 2000), the economics of soccer are still in their infancy.”
Selection Bias and Peer Effects in Team Sports (2007, background): “This would imply including player’s performance indicators, team and market characteristics in a regression that estimates (log of) players’ revenues ( Kahn, 2000 ).”
Why do leaders matter? A study of expert knowledge in a superstar setting (2011, background): “Kahn (2000) surveys evidence on the Coase Theorem in sports and concludes that most research indeed finds that the advent of free agency has not affected competitive balance, as the Coase Theorem predicts.”
