Incentive Design under Loss Aversion
Compensation schemes often reward success but do not penalize failure. Fixed salaries with stock options or bonuses have this feature. Yet the standard principal–agent model implies that pay is normally monotonically increasing in performance. This paper shows that, under loss aversion, there will be intervals over which pay is insensitive to performance, with the use of carrots but not sticks ...
متن کاملCompetition under Consumer Loss Aversion ∗
We address the effect of contextual consumer loss aversion on firm strategy in imperfect competition. Consumers are fully informed about match value and price at the moment of purchase. However, some consumers are initially uninformed about their tastes and form a reference point consisting of an expected match—value and price distribution, while others are perfectly informed all the time. We s...

This paper studies the intertemporal allocation of incentives in a repeated moral hazard model with reference-dependent preferences as in Kőszegi and Rabin (2009). Besides consumption utility, the agent experiences utility from the change in his beliefs about present and future effort and income. When effort plans are rational, the prospect of being disappointed by the outcome realization equal...
متن کاملInflation Aversion
In optimal growth models, positive time preferences, i.e. people systematically discount utility derived from future consumption, is taken for granted [Olson and Bailey (1981)]. In addition, a further modeling of time preferences by Uzawa (1968), where the time preference is an increasing function of current utility, has been increasingly used in growth and asset accumulation models. See Obstfe...
متن کاملInflation Aversion and the Optimal Inflation Tax
The optimal inflation tax is reexamined in the framework of dynamic second best economy populated by individuals with inflation aversion. A simple formula for the optimal inflation rate is derived. Different from the literature, it is shown that if the marginal excess burden of other distorting taxes approaches zero, Friedman’s rule for optimum quantity of money is not optimal, and the optimal ...
