Determinants defining pay of NHL players
Sigmund, Pavel ; Chytilová, Helena (advisor) ; Babin, Jan (referee)
The thesis is focused on examination of various determinants having effect upon National Hockey League players´ pay. It also aims at the role of players´ individual skills, personality as well as characteristic of each club. I have decided to test pay determination on the base of Jones and Walsh model (1988), which uses a set of specific variables and is formed and tested for each post (goalkeeper, defender, forward). I enriched the model with other variables (market value of the club, annual profit, average price of a ticket). The empiric part contains regression analysis (OLS) of data sets of all players - newcomers in season 2015/16. Skill and experience of the players are the most relevant factors of the model. The influence of team characteristic appeared to be (compared to the previous research) statistically less significant (close to 0). Pay discrimination of European NHL players against the ones from North America was not proved. In spite of the supposition positive effect of European origin on players´ pay emerged.
