  • Open Andrew Bryant SHC Thesis.Pdf
    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS REVISITING THE SUPERSTAR EXTERNALITY: LEBRON’S ‘DECISION’ AND THE EFFECT OF HOME MARKET SIZE ON EXTERNAL VALUE ANDREW DAVID BRYANT SPRING 2013 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for baccalaureate degrees in Mathematics and Economics with honors in Economics Reviewed and approved* by the following: Edward Coulson Professor of Economics Thesis Supervisor David Shapiro Professor of Economics Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT The movement of superstar players in the National Basketball Association from small- market teams to big-market teams has become a prominent issue. This was evident during the recent lockout, which resulted in new league policies designed to hinder this flow of talent. The most notable example of this superstar migration was LeBron James’ move from the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Miami Heat. There has been much discussion about the impact on the two franchises directly involved in this transaction. However, the indirect impact on the other 28 teams in the league has not been discussed much. This paper attempts to examine this impact by analyzing the effect that home market size has on the superstar externality that Hausman & Leonard discovered in their 1997 paper. A road attendance model is constructed for the 2008-09 to 2011-12 seasons to compare LeBron’s “superstar effect” in Cleveland versus his effect in Miami. An increase of almost 15 percent was discovered in the LeBron superstar variable, suggesting that the move to a bigger market positively affected LeBron’s fan appeal.

  • The Rage Page Volume IX Issue IX the Official Newsletter of the Maize Rage 8 January 2008
    The Rage Page Volume IX Issue IX The Official Newsletter of the Maize Rage 8 January 2008 “Everything looks good in practice for the most part. I really don’t know what the problem is. We just have to make shots in the game.” … Freshman guard Manny Harris Not even Manny Harris can say exactly what the problem has been so far with this team. All we know is that progress is coming slower than many expected. At Purdue on Saturday, the Wolverines hung right with the Boilermakers for most of the first half before Purdue got hot from long-range and built a 14-point halftime lead. But Michigan battled back and went on a run of their own, cutting the deficit to just two in the second half before falling short, 65-58. Indiana had a tough time with a hot-shooting Iowa team in their Big Ten opener, squeaking by, 79-76. If Michigan shoots the ball like Manny says they’ve been doing in practice, the upset is not out of reach. Here is the projected starting lineup for the #11 Indiana Hoosiers (12-1, 1-0 Big Ten): 1 Armon Bassett 6’1” G Shot 1-for-9 in IU’s loss at Crisler last year; claims he’s Sebastian Telfair’s “biggest fan,” and says IU is “probably not right now” a title contender 23 Eric Gordon 6’4” G ESPN reported that he played Michael Jordan’s son in Space Jam, but actually it was just an actor of the same name (not Kirk Herbstreit’s fault this time) 13 Jamarcus Ellis 6’5” G Nicknames include “Tom Tom” and “Tone Tone;” remains tied at the hip to junior DeAndre Thomas (#2), his high school, JuCo, and college teammate 30 Mike White* 6’6” F Planned to redshirt this year (despite being a senior!), reversed course in Nov.

    Numbers game -- The Washington Times The Washington Times www.washingtontimes.com Numbers game By Patrick Hruby THE WASHINGTON TIMES Published April 13, 2004 Everyone else has it wrong. The fans. The press. Even the league. They're blinded by box scores. Hamstrung by hype. Of this and more, Wayne Winston is certain. A single mouse click tells him so. "Nobody should be talking about LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony," he says. "They should be talking about Dwyane Wade. It's a crime." For Winston, Wade's superiority is not a matter of opinion. It's a fact, cold and hard, like an icicle. You can argue politics, and you can argue the best "Godfather" flick (well, excluding part III). But when it comes to the NBA Rookie of the Year race, you can't argue the data. At least not with Winston, a former "Jeopardy" champ who's good with math the way Eric Clapton is good with chords. "James rates as an average NBA player," says Winston, a professor of decision sciences at Indiana University. "That's good since very few rookies rate that high. But Wade's a real impact player for Miami. He ranks 21st best in the league in terms of changing the chances of your team winning a game." Like any MIT graduate worth his sodium chloride, Winston has the numbers to prove his point. More than 5,000 pages' worth, to be exact. Only you won't find his statistics in a newspaper. Together with fellow sports math guru Jeff Sagarin -- the brain behind USA Today's computer rankings -- Winston has created Winval, a sophisticated program that rates and ranks the value of every NBA player from Tariq Abdul-Wahad to Lorenzen Wright.
