Such behavior could be generated by two different classes of decision rules: rules that are … optimal conditional on utility functions departing from risk neutrality, or heuristics derived from limited cognitive … processing capacities and satisfycing. To discriminate among these two possibilities, we conduct an experiment that consists of a …

We present an experimental test of a shirking model where monitoring intensity is endogenous and effort a continuous … maximization problem of the firm. As a result, monitoring and pay should be complements. In our experiment, between and within …
