An Econometric Analysis of the 2013 Major League Baseball Season

Steven L. Fullerton, Thomas Fullerton () and Adam G. Walke

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: An econometric analysis of 2013 Major League Baseball season is conducted with respect to regular season victories. Results obtained confirm many, but not all, results reported in prior research. The importance of solid team pitching, defense, and offense is underscored. Outcomes for salaries and league affiliations differ substantially from prior seasons. History may serve as a guide to what occurs on the field, but it does not always repeat in the manner indicated in bygone years. Ultimately, 2013 represents a departure from the standard baseball norm.
