Generosity norms and intrinsic motivation in health care provision: evidence from the laboratory and the field
We examine the correlation between the generosity of clinicians – as measured in a laboratory experiment – and the quality of care in their normal practices under three different intrinsic incentive schemes. Specifically, we observe clinicians in their normal work environment, when a peer observes them and six weeks after an encouragement visit from a peer. Clinicians who give at least half of ...
متن کاملDo Irrelevant Events Affect Voters’ Decisions? Evidence from the Field
Does information irrelevant to government performance affect voting behavior? If so, what light does this shed on our understanding of the mechanisms underlying retrospective voting? While recent studies have suggested examples of voters appearing to reward and punish incumbents for events outside of their direct control, these analyses suffer from a principal limitation: politicians may still ...
متن کاملDo Market Conditions Affect Gift Exchange? Evidence from Experimental Markets
We study whether behavior in experimental gift-exchange markets with repeated interaction is affected by market conditions. One issue we consider is the impact of competitive imbalance, by varying whether there is an excess supply of firms or an excess supply of workers in the market. Workers might react differently to high wage offers in the two cases, as it may seem that firms are ‘forced to ...
متن کاملDo Managers Reciprocate? Field Experimental Evidence From a Competitive Market
A substantive amount of lab experimental evidence suggests that the norm of reciprocity has important economic consequences. However, it is unclear whether the norm of reciprocity survives in a natural and competitive environment with experienced agents. For this purpose we analyze data from a natural field experiment conducted with sales representatives who were instructed to randomly distribu...
متن کاملHow Do We Approach Intrinsic Motivation Computationally
What is the energy function guiding behavior and learningμ Representationbased approaches like maximum entropy, generative models, sparse coding, or slowness principles can account for unsupervised learning of biologically observed structure in sensory systems from raw sensory data. However, they do not relate to behavior. Behavior-based approaches like reinforcement learning explain animal beh...
