Sick pay provision in experimental labor markets
Dürsch, Peter; Oechssler, Joerg; Vadovič, Radovan - 2008
Sick pay is a common provision in most labor contracts. This paper employs an experimental gift-exchange environment to explore two related questions using both managers and undergraduates as subjects. First, do workers reciprocate sick pay in the same way as they reciprocate wage payments?...
