An Economic Evaluation of the Moneyball Hypothesis
Jahn K. Hakes and Raymond D. Sauer. "An Economic Evaluation of the Moneyball Hypothesis." Journal of Economic Perspectives 20, no. 3 (2006): 173-185.
Why this matters here
Jahn Hakes and Raymond Sauer empirically evaluate the Moneyball hypothesis through player performance and market valuation. The manuscript uses their study as distinct evidence that the story prompted testable economic claims, not as blanket confirmation of every narrative detail.
