What is the Relationship between Pay Dispersion and Team Productivity in the National Basketball Association?
| | abstract |
This honors thesis seeks to investigate the relationship between pay dispersion and team
productivity within the National Basketball Association. I take data from a variety of sources to
create an excel spreadsheet, where I calculate the Gini coefficient. I decide that team conference
and year are important independent variables for this study. I use four regression techniques:
ordinary least squares (OLS), lagged dependent variable, fixed effects and random effects. I use
these four models because the basic OLS has potential violations of assumptions which the other
regressions relax. I ultimately no statistically significant relationship between pay disparity and
team productivity within the National Basketball Association.
