Variable pay and work hours: does performance pay reduce the gender time gap?
利用德国调查数据，研究发现绩效工资显著缩小了男女工作时间的性别差距，尤其对有孩子的女性影响更大，这反映了家庭生产与性别分工的差异。
Abstract Using German survey data, we show in worker fixed effects estimates that performance pay is associated with a substantially lower gender hours gap. While performance pay increases the work hours of both men and women, the increase is much larger for women than for men. We argue that our finding likely reflects differences in household production and specialization by gender. Thus, we show that performance pay is not associated with increased hours for men with children in the household. Yet, performance pay is associated with a very large increase in hours for women with children in the household.
