Abstract: | A model is constructed of Soviet industrial enterprises, examining the strategic interaction between managers and workers as technology and workers' pay/performance relations evolve. Before 1965 when both players started sharing a bonus fund workers received piece wages and selected their effort independently of management. With standardised technology, this regime fostered economic growth at least until the weakening of the pay/performance nexus in 1965. After it the game changed: anything making one player less motivated engendered a similar action by the other. |
