Fair share and social efficiency: A mechanism in which peers decide on the payoff division
Dong, Lu; Falvey, Rod; Luckraz, Shravan - 2016
We propose and experimentally test a mechanism for a class of principal-agent problems in which agents can observe each … others' efforts. In this mechanism each player costlessly assigns a share of the pie to each of the other players, after … achieved under this simple mechanism and, in a controlled laboratory experiment, we find that players use a proportional rule …
