| Abstract: | The relation of several incentive schemes to productivity is studied. The effects of the incentives is examined and it is investigated whether substitution effects between them exist. A particular emphasis in on the effects and determinants of dismissals. Dismissals turn out to be positively, but in a nonlinear way, associated with productivity. Similarly, profit-sharing raises productivity. Wages and piece-rates are insignificant. Profit-sharing decreases the number of dismissals made by firms. |
