  abstract  = {This paper deals with the valuation of individuals in teams. Historical data for the National Basketball Association (NBA) was used to analyze the individual athletes’ contribution to team success. The analysis is conducted with data of all players who have played in the NBA since its foundation in 1946. A panel analysis is used to measure age effects. After adjusting the data for these effects, a multiple regression is applied to examine the players’ value assuming constant returns to added value. In a final step, the marginal returns to added value are examined and individual ’effective talent’ is calculated.},
