Pfeifer, Christian - 2009
Hutchens (1986, Journal of Labor Economics 4(4), pp. 439-457) argues that deferred compensation schemes impose fixed-costs to firms and, therefore, they employ older workers but prefer to hire younger workers. This paper shows that deferred compensation can be a recruitment barrier even without...

Share Capitalism and Worker Wellbeing
Bryson, Alex; Clark, Andrew E.; Freeman, Richard B.; … - Centre for Economic Performance, LSE - 2015
We show that worker wellbeing is not only related to the amount of compensation workers receive but also how they receive it. While previous theoretical and empirical work has often been pre-occupied with individual performance-related pay, we here demonstrate a robust positive link between the...
