Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The study found evidence of consumer-driven wage discrimination in the baseball player market, meaning that the salaries of players were influenced by factors such as popularity and fan appeal rather than solely on their performance or productivity. The study did not support option A, as strong player associations may not necessarily prevent wage discrimination. Option B is also incorrect, as government regulation was not found to have a significant impact on wage discrimination in this study. Option D appears to be unrelated to the findings of the study.
