Despite the prevalence of non-routine analytical team tasks in modern economies, little is understood regarding how incentives influence performance in these tasks. In a series of field experiments involving more than 5,000 participants, we investigate how incentives alter behavior in teams...

This paper studies the implications of agents signaling their moral type in a lying game. In the theoretical analysis …, a signaling motive emerges where agents dislike being suspected of lying and where some types of liars are more … particular on partial lying, where some agents dishonestly report a non payoff-maximizing report. I discuss the relationship with …
