Managerial payoff and gift exchange in the field
Englmaier, Florian; Leider, Stephen G. - 2012
We conduct a field experiment where we vary both the presence of a gift exchange wage and the effect of the worker's effort on the manager's payoff. The results indicate a strong complementarity between the initial wage gift and the agent's ability to repay the gift. We collect information on...
