Incentives for creativity
研究了计件和竞争性激励对创造力的影响，发现两种激励虽能提高努力水平，但并未提升创造力，且竞争性激励反而降低了创造力，尤其对女性影响更显著。
Abstract We investigate whether piece-rate and competitive incentives affect creativity, and if so, how the incentive effect depends on the form of the incentives. We find that while both piece-rate and competitive incentives lead to greater effort relative to a base-line with no incentives, neither type of incentives improve creativity relative to the base-line. More interestingly, we find that competitive incentives are in fact counter-productive in that they reduce creativity relative to base-line condition. In line with previous literature, we find that competitive conditions affect men and women differently: whereas women perform worse under competition than the base-line condition, men do not.
