Campos-Mercade, Pol; Meier, Armando N.; Meier, Stephan; … - 2026

Gallus, Jana; Campbell, Sandy; Genîzî, Ûrî - 2026

Awards are widely used as incentives. This paper situates awards in the broader incentives landscape and shows how the motivational value of awards can be understood through a framework that considers three sources of value: the tangible component of an award, the social signals it emits, and...

Preference-driven contract design : how education alters risk, patience, and effort in incentive schemes

Weikl, Jan - 2026

Performance-contingent pay raises productivity, yet in the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) only about 16% of workers report receiving performance pay, with the incidence being roughly seven percentage points higher among university graduates than among non-graduates. This coexistence of low...

How absolute and relative payoffs shape dishonesty

Necker, Sarah; Le Maux, Benoît - 2026

We examine how absolute and relative gains within reward schemes influence dishonesty. In our online experiment, we vary two payoff dimensions in a cheating mind game: the payoff level and the absolute payoff difference between being successful or not. A higher payoff level has a negative impact...

Delegated social responsibility : Is managerial prosociality a source of agency cost?

Szymczak, Wiebke - 2026

Agency theory holds that managerial discretion over stakeholder decisions creates agency costs through altruistic redistribution. We test this claim in a principal-agent experiment where agents choose effort and transfers affecting a third party under unenforceable flat-wage contracts. We find...

Toward a bad job economy : AI adoption, agency costs, and job design

Fahn, Matthias; Li, Jin; Sun, Chang - 2026

We study how AI affects compensation and job design when performance depends on workers' non-contractible effort. In a principal-agent model with limited liability, AI reduces effort costs but disproportionately lowers the cost of achieving satisfactory performance. This raises the incentive...

A bright side of Peter-principle promotions

Dur, Robert A. J.; Morita, Kimiyuki; Sogo, Takeharu - 2026

Promotion to managerial roles is often strongly based on workers' performance in their current roles rather than on their managerial aptitude - the Peter principle. This paper provides a novel rationale for this apparent mismatch when promotions serve no incentive role. We model workers who care...
