Do social preferences increase productivity? Field experimental evidence from fishermen in Toyama Bay

Carpenter, Jeffrey P.; Seki, Erika - 2005

We provide a reason for the wider economics profession to take social preferences, a concern for the outcomes achieved by other reference agents, seriously. Although we show that student measures of social preference elicited in an experiment have little external validity when compared to...

Competitive work environments and social preferences: field experimental evidence from a Japanese fishing community

Carpenter, Jeffrey P.; Seki, Erika - 2005

Models of job tournaments and competitive workplaces more generally predict that while individual effort may increase as competition intensifies between workers, the incentive for workers to cooperate with each other diminishes. We report on a field experiment conducted with workers from a...

Two Field Experiments on Self-Selection, Collaboration Intensity, and Team Performance

Fischer, Mira; Rilke, Rainer Michael; Yurtoglu, B. Burcin - 2020

We analyze how the team formation process influences the ability composition and performance of teams, showing how self …-selection and random assignment affect team performance for different tasks in two natural field experiments. We identify the … collaboration intensity of the task as the key driver of the effect of self-selection on team performance. We find that when the …

The Consequences of a Piece Rate on Quantity and Quality: Evidence from a Field Experiment

Heywood, John S.; Siebert, W. Stanley; Wei, Xiangdong - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2013

This field experiment examines output quantity and quality for workers in a data input business. We observe two sets of workers that differ in monitoring intensity as they move from time to piece rates. The application of piece rates increases quantity, and we find that the resultant quality can...
