Incentive contracts when agents distort probabilities

Gonzalez Jimenez, Victor H. - In: Quantitative economics : QE ; journal of the … 15 (2024) 3, pp. 607-653

I show that stochastic contracts generate powerful incentives when agents suffer from probability distortion. When implementing these contracts, the principal can target probability distortions in order to inflate the agent's perceived benefits of exerting high levels of effort. This novel...

Price competition and nominal illusion: experimental evidence and a behavioural model

Morales, Antonio J.; Fatas, Enrique - In: SERIEs : Journal of the Spanish Economic Association 12 (2021) 4, pp. 607-632
