使用2000年至2008年的NFL数据，我们测试了NFL职业收入的补偿歧视。我们使用传统的虚拟变量技术应用于普通最小二乘回归和分位数回归分析来衡量种族对收入的影响。我们专注于六个位置组：防守后卫，防守队员，后卫，跑位，边锋和边路接球手。我们的分析发现，球员的表现决定了职业收入，而不是他们的种族。也许，用一个贝克尔式的论证，市场竞争中最优秀的球员在竞争环境中实现团队制胜已经克服了个人偏见。
Using NFL data from 2000 to 2008, we test for compensation discrimination on career earnings in the NFL. We use both the traditional dummy variable technique applied to Ordinary Least Squares regression and the quantile regression analysis to measure the effect of race on earnings. We focus on six positional groups: defensive backs, defensive linemen, linebackers, running backs, tight ends and wide receivers. Our analysis finds that a player’s performance determines career earnings and not their race. Perhaps, using a Becker-like argument, market competition for the best players in a competitive environment to achieve a winning team has overcome personal prejudice.
