Productivity Spillovers in Team Production: Evidence from Professional Basketball
利用职业篮球数据，估计工人自身生产率及促进他人生产率的能力，发现生产率溢出效应显著，但薪酬主要由自身生产率决定。
We estimate a model where workers are heterogeneous both in their own productivity and in their ability to facilitate the productivity of others. We use data from professional basketball to measure the importance of peers in productivity because we have clear measures of output and members of a worker’s group change on a regular basis. Our empirical results highlight that productivity spillovers play an important role in team production. Despite this, we find that worker compensation is largely determined by own productivity with little weight given to productivity spillovers.
