On the choice of incentives in firms
Article Abstract:
Various individual incentives such as piece-rates, bonus pay and threat of dismissal for shirking have been applied to industrial settings to promote industrial productivity. However, such incentives have hindered cooperation and teamwork development. Measurement of these incentive effects generate a selection bias problem. This problem can be corrected for situations where profit sharing is accompanied by positive effects.

Some general equilibrium aspects of a labor-managed economy with monopoly elements
Article Abstract:

The structure of the industry and its welfare performance were used as the parameters in the examination. The utility of general equilibrium specifications in dealing with the long run equilibrium in the economy with monopoly rents was demonstrated.
