本文调查了意大利联赛中职业足球运动员的工资决定。鉴于“顶级”足球运动员的受欢迎程度，个人生产力和薪酬之间的关系可能会导致“超级巨星”效应。在这种情况下，足球运动员的边际收入乘积与观众愿意支付观看他比赛（现场或电视）的额外价格乘以被吸引的观众数量有关。作者使用 1995-96 意大利联赛赛季 533 名足球运动员的个人收入和其他个人特征的罕见数据来估计人力资本收入方程，并通过绩效收入凸性检验工资决定中的超级巨星效应。在控制了一系列个人特征和团队固定效应后，发现两种绩效指标的收入具有高度凸性。
This article investigates wage determination among professional soccer players appearing in the Italian league. Given the popularity of "top" soccer players, the relationship between individual productivity and pay can lead to "superstar" effects. In that context, the marginal revenue product of a soccer player is related to the extra price that a spectator is willing to pay to see him play (live or on television) times the number of spectators who are attracted. The authors use rare data on individual earnings and other personal characteristics of a set of 533 soccer players in the 1995-96 Italian league season to estimate human capital earnings equations and test for superstar effects in wage determination via convexity of earnings in performance. Earnings are found to be highly convex in two performance measures after controlling for a set of personal characteristics and team fixed effects.
