Simon Rottenberg and Baseball, Then and Now: A Fiftieth Anniversary Retrospective
回顾西蒙·罗滕伯格50年前发表的棒球运动员劳动力市场论文,分析其关于竞争平衡、薪资限制、收入分享等见解,并讨论后续行业发展。
Fifty years ago this Journal published Simon Rottenberg's "The Baseball Players' Labor Market, " the first professional journal article in sports economics. In this retrospective we review some of his insights and analyses with regard to competitive balance, constraints on payroll and freedoms to contract, revenue sharing, territorial rights, and the supply of talent. We also note subsequent industry developments Rottenberg could not have anticipated and identify where he was ahead of his time.
