Feedback and incentives: experimental evidence
Eriksson, Tor; Poulsen, Anders; Villeval, Marie-Claire - 2008
This paper experimentally investigates the impact of different pay and relative performance information policies on employee effort. We explore three information policies: No feedback about relative performance, feedback given halfway through the production period, and continuously updated...

Hidden action, identification, and organization design
Schnedler, Wendelin - 2010
Incentives often fail in inducing economic agents to engage in a desirable activity; implementability is restricted. What restricts implementability? When does re-organization help to overcome this restriction? This paper shows that any restriction of implementability is caused by an...
