dc.description.abstract |
The relationship between competition and performance-related pay has been analyzed
in single-principal-single-agent models. While this approach yields good predictions for
managerial pay schemes, the predictions fail to apply for employees at lower tiers of a
firm's hierarchy. In this paper, a principal-multi-agent model of incentive pay is developed
which makes it possible to analyze the effect of changes in the competitiveness of markets
on lower tier incentive payment schemes. The results explain why the payment schemes
of agents located at low and mid tiers are less sensitive to changes in competition when
aggregated firm data is used.
