Worker Motivations, Job Satisfaction, and Loyalty in Public and Nonprofit Social Services (2006, background): “Prendergast (1999) and Benabou and Tirole (2003) have analyzed incentives more systematically, whereas other authors (Deci & Gagné, 2005) worked out a continuum of incentive categories ranging from purely extrinsic to purely intrinsic, taking the concept of self-determination as the rationale for…”
Bayesian Persuasion (2024, background): “Carillo and Mariotti (2000), Bodner and Prelec (2003), and Bénabou and Tirole (2002, 2003, 2004) employ a form of Bayesian persuasion to study self-signaling and self-regulation.”
Incentives and Prosocial Behavior (2006, background): “As to a higher shadow cost of public funds (a proportional reduction in αs and Bs), it naturally tends to reduce ys; when contributions are substitutes, some of this reduced public intervention is made up by increased social pressure, as ∆ rises in response to the decline in participation.”
On doing relevant and rigorous experiments: Review and recommendations (2018, background): “…task), social structures (e.g., a participant’s status in the group), psychological rewards (e.g., praise or recognition), and even biological factors (e.g., hormones) can induce consequences as well (Benabou & Tirole, 2003; Kosfeld, Heinrichs, Zak, Fischbacher, & Fehr, 2005; Ryan & Deci, 2000).”
Career concerns and multitasking local bureaucrats: Evidence of a target-based performance evaluation system in China (2018, background): “Emphasizing output as a performance measure would also likely crowd out the intrinsic motivations for bureaucrats (Benabou and Tirole, 2003).”
