    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.

I think it's fair to say that the NBA was the first sport that was widely viewed as a black sport. And whatever the numbers ultimately are for the other sports, the NBA will always be treated a certain way because of that. Our players are so visible that if they have Afros or cornrows or tattoos- white or black-our consumers pick it up.

  • NBA Draft Lottery Probabilities
    AMERICAN JOURNAL OF UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH VOL. 2, NO. 3 (2003) NBA Draft Lottery Probabilities Chad R. Florke and Mark D. Ecker Department of Mathematics University of Northern Iowa Cedar Falls, Iowa 50614-0506 USA Received: November 6, 2003 Accepted: December 1, 2003 ABSTRACT We examine the evolution of the National Basketball Association’s (NBA’s) Draft Lottery by showing how the changes implemented by the Board of Governors have impacted the probabilities of obtaining top picks in the ensuing draft lottery. We explore how these changes have impacted the team with the worst record and also investigate the conditional probabilities of the fourth worst team receiving the third pick. These calculations are conditioned upon two specified teams receiving the first two selections. We show that the probability of the fourth worst team receiving the third pick can be made unconditionally. We calculate the probabilities for the fourth worst team to move up in the draft to receive either the first, second, or third selections, along with its chance of keeping the fourth pick or even dropping in the draft. We find there is a higher chance for the fourth worst team to drop to the fifth, sixth or seventh position than to stay at the fourth position or move up. I. INTRODUCTION the record of finish of the teams, i.e., the number of games won for each team (which a. National Basketball Association (NBA) may also include playoff wins). For example Draft Lottery History and Evolution in football, the team with the worst record (fewest number of wins during the season) In all major professional team will draft first in each round while the best sports, recruiting amateur players from team (the Super Bowl winner) will draft last college, high school, or overseas is vital to in each round.

  • Orlando's Dwight Howard Wins 2009-10 Nba Defensive
    ORLANDO’S DWIGHT HOWARD WINS 2009-10 NBA DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR AWARD PRESENTED BY KIA MOTORS NEW YORK , April 20, 2010 – Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic is the recipient of the 2009-10 NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award presented by Kia Motors, the NBA announced today, marking the second straight season the All-Star has earned the honor. The 6-11 center became the first player to lead the league in rebounding and blocks (1973-74 was the first season blocks were kept as an official statistic) in consecutive seasons, averaging 13.2 rebounds and 2.78 blocks. Howard also paced the league in field goal percentage (.612), becoming the first player to lead the NBA in all three of those categories since the NBA started keeping blocked shots. He also became only the fifth player in NBA history to lead the league in rebounding for at least three consecutive seasons. Howard recorded an NBA-high 64 double- doubles, including three 20-point/20-rebound efforts. As part of its support of the Defensive Player of the Year Award, Kia Motors America will donate a 2011 Kia Sorento CUV on behalf of Howard to the Nap Ford Community School in Parramore, a community in downtown Orlando. Nap Ford's vision is to empower students to maximize their potential to be contributing members of society. Kia Motors will present a brand new Sorento, the Official Vehicle of the NBA, to the charity of choice of each of four 2009-10 season-end award winners as part of the “The NBA Performance Awards Presented by Kia Motors.” Following this season, Kia Motors will have donated a total of 12 new vehicles to charity since the program began in 2008.

  • Washburn Lawyer, V. 48, No. 1
    WASHBURN VOLUME 48, ISSUE 1 Lawyer FALL 2010 Swearing-in Washburn Law Alumni Sworn in to U.S. Supreme Court WASHBURN UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW ALUMNI MAGAZINE DEAN Thomas J. Romig Dear Alumni and Friends: I am pleased to have this opportunity to share with you some of the exciting things happening at Washburn Law. This fall, the law school welcomed the best-credentialed incoming class in our history. The incoming Class of 2010 is comprised of 169 students, including the fall and January 2010 starters. The total number of applications increased signifi cantly, as did the LSAT scores of the admitted students. These improvements were due, in part, to the re-establishment of the Spring Start Program, allowing for recruiting opportunities in two separate cycles. We were able to be more selective than any time in the recent history of the law school. Our recruiting strategy and our use of scholarships have been very effective and enabled us to retain the most talented applicants. We appreciate your support of our scholarship efforts, and with your ongoing assistance, we will be able to continue to recruit the best students. We know that prospective students weigh law school rankings when deciding which school to attend. Washburn Law moved up in the U.S. News and World Report’s 2011 law school rankings, and our Legal Analysis, Research, and Writing Program was ranked 17th among all U.S. law schools. We recognize that legal writing is a critically important skill for successful lawyers, and it is a strength of Washburn Law. We continue to maintain an excellent student-faculty ratio: 12.9 to 1.
