A stark contrast showing the importance of one's sampling frame, and highlighting the big gap that @ILRLaborAction is filling.
Without knowing it, Corbin Burnes gives the perfect explanation of my paper with @aaronsojourner where we find that arbitration doesn't affect on-field performance but increases chances of break-up.
