“…However, national defense does not exhaust all the possible types of public good. In our model, the term 'public good' can be interpreted as mutual insurance (Chiang and Mahmud 2008). Hence, the present theory is more general than that of Riker.…”

“…First, unlike most other models of multi-ethnic nations (Chiang and Mahmud 2008 being an exception), we consider geography as an important factor. In order for a coalition to form among contiguous regions, each region must accept its neighbors as coalition partners.…”

“…Another strand of the literature examined risk diversification in other contexts (e.g., Bramoullé & Kranton, 2007a;Eisenhardt & Schoonhoven, 1996;Li & Suen, 2000). For example, in a theoretical paper, Chiang and Mahmud (2008) analyze the optimal size of nations by considering which regions are likely to form a coalition given, among other factors, the variance in income.…”

Abstract Incentive schemes not only influence the effort provision of workers, but might also induce sorting. As drivers of self-selection, the literature mainly focuses on measures of productivity; however, other variables, such as preferences, beliefs and personality, also play a role. With this paper, we contribute to the literature on drivers of self-selection by analyzing the role of perceived wage risks as potential influences on the sorting decision. To this end, we study a sorting decision between two variable compensation systems, where both options carry wage risks. Specifically, we look at sorting between individual piece rates and team piece rates. Terms of use: Documents inUsing experimental data, we find evidence for both risk diversification considerations and free-riding concerns (i.e., risk of teaming-up with low-productive teammates) as drivers of self-selection. However, our data does not support the concern of our experimental subjects that others actually reduce their effort when working under team compensation, as compared to individual-based compensation.
