Non‐additivity and the Salience of Marginal Productivities: Experimental Evidence on Distributive Fairness
通过实验研究团队生产中非可加性对分配公平规范的影响，发现第三方分配时主要依据投入而非边际贡献，除非边际生产率被显著凸显。
We investigate the relevance of different distributive fairness norms in a team production process in which the team members’ contributions to the joint output are not necessarily additive. In some of the cases of non‐additivity, the individual marginal contributions to the output are not salient. We vary the salience and investigate how third parties allocate the joint output to the team members. We find that the prevalent norm is to hold others responsible only for their inputs rather than for the incremental increase in the output. The marginal productivities are taken into account only when they are made readily apparent.
