Abstract

The focus of this study is how labor and management judge the degree of evenhandedness of arbitrators in major league baseball final-offer arbitration. The empirical work suggests that if a naive "win-loss" tallies approach is used, arbitrators in baseball may be deemed fair. However, if a richer model is employed whereby players and owners judge arbitration outcomes relative to some notion of the player's worth, a significant portion of arbitrators may be judged biased in their decisions.
