Social Comparison and Performance: Experimental Evidence on the Fair Wage-Effort Hypothesis
Gaechter, Simon; Thoeni, Christian - Centre for Decision Research and Experimental Economics … - 2009
We investigate the impact of wage comparisons for worker productivity. We present three studies which all use three-person gift-exchange experiments. Consistent with Akerlof and Yellen's (1990) fair wage-effort hypothesis we find that disadvantageous wage discrimination leads to lower efforts...
