Paying for performance and motivation crowding out

Economics Letters, 2009, vol. 103, issue 2, 68-71

Abstract: We investigate how prices affect output when publicly-funded providers differ in altruism, and enjoy being perceived as good and not as greedy. A higher price increases output for low and high-altruism providers. Intermediate-altruism providers do not respond or reduce output.
