This paper examines the impact of performance-related pay on wage differentials within firms. Our theoretical framework predicts that, compared to a fixed pay system, pay schemes based on individual output increase within-firm wage inequality, while group-based bonuses have minor effects on wage...

A general assumption of the standard hedonic price model is that producers produce outputs/ services efficiently, and deviations from this situation are assumed to involve either overcharging or undercharging. Using the profit maximising behaviour, we derive an alternative hedonic model to show...
