Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Thesis / Dissertation Description
In this paper, I calculate the marginal revenue product of 30 four-year college basketball players in an attempt to add to the debate surrounding the payment of college athletes. I compare the MRP of each player to tuition costs to determine their lost earnings. Previous studies have provided evidence that college athletes make more money for their schools than they are being compensated for. My results are consistent with this. My model estimates that on average these 30 college basketball players are generating $2,059,970 in revenue over four seasons and their lost earnings are on average $1,975,918. Additional analysis shows that 17 out of the 30 basketball players will be compensated for their losses experienced in college in 3 seasons or less in the NBA.
