Optimal Employee Ownership Contracts Under Ambiguity Aversion

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to compute and describe the conditions of an optimal employee ownership contract between an employer and an ambiguity-averse employee. We then introduce ambiguity aversion in the baseline model of Aubert et al. (2014) using the multiple prior preferences of Gilboa and Schmeidler (1989) and its extension proposed by Maccheroni et al. (2006). This model offers solutions that reconcile labor and financial economics and behavioral economics research findings on employee ownership. The pape… Show more

“…Other studies suggest that this kind of ownership also encourages employees to participate in other activities within the company, while reducing turnover (Aubert et al, 2014). Likewise it contributes to greater cooperation, mutual monitoring, lower levels of turnover, and absenteeism (Aubert et al, 2018), along with greater motivation and cohesion among employees (Pierce & Furo, 1990).…”

“…This is because such a plan is often adopted for non-incentive purposes like blocking acquisition bids. Aubert et al (2018) lay down the conditions of an optimal ESOP contract between an employer and an ambiguity-averse employee. Focusing on the improvement of corporate performance, the above studies mainly deal with private enterprises, but rarely discuss the ESOP of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) [1].…”
