| Tiivistelmä: | This paper studies optimal contracts in a simple model where employees are averse to inequity. A "selfish" employer can profitably exploit envy or guilt by offering contracts which create inequity off-equilibrium, that is, when employees do not meet his/her demands. Such contracts resemble team and relative performance contracts. The study derives conditions for inequity to be in itself a reason to form work teams of distributionally concerned employees, even in situations in which effort is contractible. |
