Abstrakt: | The purpose of this paper is to provide insight into the most efficient
allocation of salary in the National Hockey League, with respect to the positional
groups of forwards, defensemen, and goaltenders. With the hypothesis that the most
efficient method by which to allocate salary is disproportional between the three
groups, three different regressions are run. The results of the regressions and
subsequent tests confirm the hypothesis that teams should perform better if they do
not allocate their available salary proportionally. It is found, holding spending on
goaltenders constant, that teams should perform better if they invest more in either
forwards or defensemen. The results are in support of previous papers, written by
Marchand et al. (2007) and Simmons & Berri (2011), that an egalitarian pay system
is not ideal. |
