Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Using data from the pre-2004-2005 lockout period, we use quantile regression to estimate the earnings function of forwards and defensemen in the National Hockey League (NHL). We find that the explanatory power of Mincer's earnings equation is smaller for low-paid players than for high-paid stars. More importantly, we find significant differences in the returns to measures of performance and other variables across the conditional earnings distribution. Our estimation results suggest that the conditional expectation model used in previous studies misses some of the subtleties of the earnings determination process in professional hockey.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
