Incentives and Selection in Promotion Contests: Is It Possible to Kill Two Birds with One Stone?

چکیده
Copyright © This paper investigates whether a designer can improve both the incentive provision and the selection performance of a promotion contest by making the competition more (or less) dynamic. A comparison of static (one-stage) and dynamic (two-stage) contests reveals that this is not the case. A structural change that improves the performance in one dimension leads to a deterioration in the other dimension. This suggests that modifications of the contest structure are an alternative to strategic handicaps. A key advantage of structural handicaps over participant-specific ones is that the implementation of the former does not require prior identification of worker types.

Dynamic Incentive Effects of Heterogeneity in Multi-Stage Promotion Contests
Dynamic Incentive Effects of Heterogeneity in Multi-Stage Promotion Contests This paper shows that the incentive effects of heterogeneity may be positive rather than negative in dynamic contests with multiple stages. In particular, the well-studied adverse effects of heterogeneity in static interactions are compensated by positive continuation-value and selection effects. Due to these positive ...

متن کاملBelief precision and effort incentives in promotion contests
The career concerns literature predicts that incentives for effort decline as beliefs about ability become more precise (Holmstrom, 1982/1999). In contrast, we show that effort can increase with belief precision when agents compete for promotions to better paid jobs that are assigned on the basis of perceived abilities. In this case, an intermediate level of precision provides the strongest inc...

The development of genomic selection has created new strategies in animal breeding programs. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficiency of genomic selection in breeding programs of native hens. In this study, a reference scenario with 3380 birds using pedigree and phenotypic information was simulated and the expected genetic progress was derived deterministically with the software ...
