Research on the presence of consumer racial discrimination in the baseball labor and memorabilia markets has produced contradictory
empirical results. While studies of baseball salaries find no evidence of discrimination, Nardinelli and Simon (1990) and
Andersen and La Croix (1991) use data from the baseball card market to show that the price that consumers pay for a card depends
on the player’s race. In this paper, we reconsider the evidence of consumer discrimination in the baseball card market. Our
study improves on previous research by applying more appropriate econometric methods and using a data set in which card supply
is constant and incentives for speculative demand are weaker. In contradiction to the aforementioned studies, we find little
evidence of racial discrimination. This result proves robust across variable specifications and econometric models.

The two dominant labor market turnover hypotheses, the firm-specific human capital model (FSHCM) and the job-matching model, suggest different patterns of player mobility in major league baseball. The matching hypothesis predicts greater mobility of players in positions that require substantial team production. A better match may offer large productivity gains. Alternately, the FSHCM predicts players in positions requiring the greatest amount of teamwork will benefit from specific knowledge, making them less likely to change teams. We examine the frequency distribution of trades by player position from 1900–1992 and find the FSHCM provides the best explanation for turnover in this industry. 相似文献
