“…Some papers focused on the positive effect that the possibility of migration may have on individual returns to investments in human capital (Beine et al, 2008a;2011). Other papers analyzed the role played by migrants' remittances in overcoming liquidity constraints for investing in human capital (Faini, 2007;Niimi et al, 2010;Amuedo-Dorantes and Pozo, 2010) or the role played by migrants in transmitting behavioral norms from their host to home countries (Beine et al, 2008b).…”

► We analyze the impact of football players' migration on national team performance. ► We provide a theoretical model and empirical evidence. ► Migration of national team players improves international football performance. ► This result holds particularly for countries with lower quality football clubs. a b s t r a c tWe analyze the impact of human capital formation through migration on performance by studying the impact of football players' migration to foreign clubs on their origin countries' international football performance. In our model, migration to foreign clubs allows players to improve their skills. Its impact on national team performance is positive and increasing with the difference in quality between foreign and home country clubs. To test this prediction, we have collected information on the club of employment of national team players for most countries in the world. We have constructed an original migration index, weighing each emigrant player by the quality of the foreign club employing him. We find strong and robust support for the theoretical prediction that migration of national team players improves international football performance, particularly for countries with lower quality football clubs.

“…The racial, gender, religious, and lingual differences play more prominent role in this model. As Broyles and Cane (2010), Holmes (2011), andMoosavi andRahverdi (2004) have mentioned in their studies (Broyles, Keen, 2010;Moosavi & Rahverdi, 2004) ethnic and gender differences in discrimination might create some conditions under which personnel with different lingual and racial conditions to feel different sense in organizational status and they might have identical rights. In addition, females have always criticized unequal and discriminatory conditions in various organizational fields and argued that these conditions are not duly addressed.…”

“…Some factors that have often undergone analysis are player performance, race and nationality, seniority, number of days on the disabled list, age, awards won, and selection for the All-Star Game; from the studies conducted by Scully (1974); Krautmann and Oppenheimer (2002); Krautmann, Gustafson, and Hadley (2003); Yosifov (2006); Holmes (2010); Link and Yosifov (2012);and Jane, Chen, and Kuo (2013).

Using Major League Baseball (MLB) players who had the ability to bargain for new contracts between the years 2009 and 2013 as a sample, empirical results indicated that contract length had a significant positive influence on salary. The salaries of players who had extended their current contracts met the assumptions of the theory of compensating wage differentials, while those of free agents showed no compensating wage differential effects. Finally, the results suggest discrimination against Latino players.
