Are Findings of Salary Discrimination Against Foreign-Born Players in the NBA Robust?

James Richard Hill and Peter Groothuis

No 15-13, Working Papers from Department of Economics, Appalachian State University

Abstract: The influx of international players into the NBA has led researchers to investigate whether pay discrimination exists for these new entrants. Using a two-stage double fixed-effect model, Yang and Lin (2015) found evidence of salary discrimination against international players. Using a similar technique with a much longer unbalanced panel dataset (1989-2013), we are unable to verify their results. Key Words: Wage Discrimination, NBA
