Abstract: | The authors investigate the choice of compensation scheme by firms. The basic model shows that the unique equilibrium choice for profit maximizing duopolists in a labor market is for one firm to offer a wage rate and for the other to offer a piece rate. This result arises because the firms recognize that, by offering different compensation schemes, they induce self-selection among workers , which thereby decreases the intensity of competition in the labor market. |
