چکیده
Assuming that people care not only about what others do but also on what others think, we study respect as a non-monetary source of motivation in a context where the length of the employment relationship is endogenous. In our three-stage gift-exchange experiment, the employer can express respect by giving the employee costly symbolic rewards after observing his level of effort. This experiment sheds light on the extent to which symbolic rewards are used, how they affect employees’ further effort, the duration of relationships, and the profits of employers. Furthermore, we study whether employers’ decisions to give symbolic rewards are driven by strategic considerations, by manipulating the bargaining power of employers and employees. We find that employers make use of symbolic rewards and chiefly to express their satisfaction with the employee. Indeed, symbolic rewards are more frequently used when there is excess supply of labor in the market while they are used in almost the same proportion when the market is balanced and when there is excess demand of labor. They are associated with higher profits and increased probability of continuing employment relationships. Overall, however, the opportunity of expressing respect does not improve efficiency compared with an environment in which it does not exist, possibly due to a crowding-out of extrinsic incentives by the availability of non-monetary incentives.

We study the economics of Bitcoin transaction fees in a simple static partial equilibrium model with the specificity that the system security is directly linked to the total computational power of miners. We show that any situation with a fixed fee is equivalent to another situation with a limited block size. In both cases, we give the optimal value of the transaction fee or of the block size. ...

Nous exposons notre travail en collaboration avec Dirk Kreimer sur les algèbres de Hopf et de Lie associées aux graphes de Feynman, et sur la signification conceptuelle de la renormalisation perturbative à partir du problème de RiemannHilbert. Nous interprétons ensuite le groupe de renormalisation comme un groupe d’ambigüıté et montrons le rôle que ce groupe devrait jouer pour comprendre la com...

متن کاملL’interprétation Matricielle De La Théorie De Markoff Classique
On explicite l’approche de Cohn (1955) de la théorie de Markoff. On montre en particulier comment l’arbre complet des solutions de l’équation diophantienne associée apparaît comme quotient du groupe GL(2,Z) des matrices 2× 2 à coefficients entiers et de déterminant ±1 par un sous-groupe diédral D6 à 12 éléments. Différents développements intermédiaires sont faits autour du groupe Aut(F2) des au...
