This paper experimentally investigates the impact of different pay schemes and relative performance feedback policies … on employee effort. We explore three feedback rules: No feedback on relative performance, feedback given halfway through … the production period, and continuously updated feedback. We use two pay schemes, a piece rate and a tournament. We find …
