- The Dark Side of Competition for Status (2014, background): “Several studies of the gift-exchange game have shown that, despite the absence of any penalty for shirking, workers respond to flat wages by exerting non-null effort levels (Fehr et al., 1993; Gneezy and List, 2006; Cohn et al., 2009; Gächter and Thöni, 2010; Kube et al., 2012).”
- Employee Recognition and Performance: A Field Experiment (2016, methodology): “In order to estimate the causal effect of recognition on employee performance, we conducted a natural field experiment following the methodology as laid out by Harrison and List (2004), Levitt and List (2009), and List and Rasul (2011).”
- Double for Nothing? Experimental Evidence on an Unconditional Teacher Salary Increase in Indonesia (2017, background): “…2013, Duflo, Dupas, and Kremer 2015, Bau and Das 2017). any increases in worker productivity in response to an unconditional increase in pay may be short-lived (Gneezy and List 2006, Jayaraman, Ray, and de Véricourt 2016), or even non-existent (Kube, Maréchal, and Puppe 2013, EstevesSorenson 2017).”
- The Morale Effects of Pay Inequality (2016, unknown): “…while the evidence on negative reciprocity (i.e. effort reductions from wage cuts) is more mixed over a one-day period (Gneezy and List 2006, Kube et al. 2013, THE MORALE EFFECTS OF PAY INEQUALITY 6 Our study advances the literature by finding substantial impacts of relative pay comparisons…”
- Other Regarding Preferences: A Selective Survey of Experimental Results (2012, background): “A second interesting result in Leider et al. is that friends sort by baseline altruism, so that subjects with a high (low) level of baseline altruism have more friends with a high (low) level of baseline altruism. A related result is reported by Slonim and Garbarino (2008). They find that in an onli”
- The Currency of Reciprocity - Gift-Exchange in the Workplace (2012, unknown): “(forthcoming) and Kube et al. (2010) for a similar approach.”
