Motivational crowding-out theory establishes that the effectiveness of financial incentive schemes, like pay-for-performance, crucially depends on the underlying social preferences of health workers. In this paper we study the extent to which heterogeneity in the strength and structure of social preferences is related to career choices by testing whether preferences vary systematically between ...

This paper develops a model of career concerns. As in Holmström (1999), a worker’s productive abilities are revealed over time through output, and wages are based on expected output, and so on assessed ability. Specifically, work increases the probability that a skilled worker achieves an observable breakthrough. It is shown that effort at different times are strategic substitutes. As as result...

In many industries workers face a choice between high and low visibility jobs. The former let all potential employers observe performance, the latter only the current employer. This paper argues that workers getting a positive initial signal about their talent are willing to incur costs to work in high visibility jobs in order to avoid a hold up problem with the current employer in the second p...

1 Huw Price 2 Bell's Theorem requires the assumption that the values of hidden variables are statistically independent of future measurement settings. This Independence Assumption (IA) is normally taken for granted, though Bell himself sometimes considered relaxing it, as a way of defending locality. On balance he regarded such a move as even less attractive than non-locality, however—this desp...
