摘要
In this short note, the authors contrast their own recent work on racial integration in Major League Baseball with that of two other groups: Hanssen and Meehan (2009) and Goff, McCormick, and Tollison (2002). While reaching dissimilar conclusions, both groups understate the role of the entrepreneur in the process of integration and rely too heavily on a continuous estimation model for a discrete dependent variable.
