摘要

最高级别和最低级别合同限制的存在如何影响（i）超级巨星的薪酬和（ii）整个行业的薪酬分配？我利用全美篮球协会（NBA）的票价和观察到的球员天赋数据，估算了每位球员的预期薪水以及他们对整个 NBA 的价值。我发现，最有天赋的球员的实际工资与预期工资之比为 2.8%-56.9%，这导致了对天赋较差球员的补贴。研究结果还表明，最有天赋的球员为 NBA 带来的价值远远高于他们的实际工资和预期工资。

Leveling the playing field: The distributional impact of maximum- and minimum-level contracts on player compensation

How does the presence of maximum- and minimum-level contract restrictions impact (i) superstar compensation and (ii) the distribution of compensation across an industry? Using ticket price and observed player talent data from the National Basketball Association (NBA), I estimate expected salaries for each player as well as their value to the NBA as a whole. I find the ratio of actual to expected salary is 2.8%–56.9% for the most talented players, resulting in subsidization to less talented players. The findings also suggest the most talented players generate significantly more value to the NBA than their actual and expected salaries.
