Organizers: Armin Falk, David Huffman, and Bentley MacLeod
Why do firms exist? What determines whether workers are paid a piece rate or a fixed wage? These are key questions for organizational economics, which seeks to understand the relationships between the law, institutions and employee performance. Recent research in behavioral economics offers a new perspective on these fundamental questions, enhancing our understanding of the psychological foundations of incentives, and demonstrating that performance does not only depend on the relationship between measured performance and pay, but also upon many other features of the workplace, including employee moral, employment law, and the perceived “fairness” of one’s pay. |
