Uncertainty‐driven cooperation
研究了不确定性下动态团队生产中,成员通过反馈相互激励以对抗搭便车行为,并发现限制反馈可缓解棘轮效应、提高努力水平,此时联合绩效指标优于个人指标。
We consider dynamic team production in the presence of uncertainty. Team members receive interim feedback that depends on both their current effort level and the project's uncertain prospects. In this environment, each member can encourage the others by making them more optimistic about the project's prospects. We study the extent to which this incentive counters the usual free‐riding incentive. Restricting the agents' access to feedback can increase their equilibrium effort levels by mitigating the ratchet effect. In this case, using joint performance measures can be beneficial even when individual measures are available.
