From the Editor's Desk How Your Bonus Affects Your Colleagues Behaviour When organisations change how they compensate employees, they are embarking on a social experiment, whether decision-makers know it or not. The trouble is the vast majority of these experiments are conducted unscientifically, yielding results that can be misleading or inconclusive. The popularity of performance-related pay for individuals obviously reflects the belief that employees will work harder when doing so promises to benefit them financially. But managers often gloss over the deeper hypothesis behind pay-for-performance schemes, which is that people primarily care about how much they themselves are paid as individuals. An opposing school of thought in academic literature contends that incentives can have social effects too – where the individuals care not only about what they receive but also about what others in the social group around them receive. The latter viewpoint, if true, implies a central role for incentives in shaping and leveraging value-creating social effects. But it is difficult, if not impossible, to say whether individual or social effects would be more salient in a given context without being able to launch a real-world study under conditions that meet standards for scientific rigour. And it very rarely happens that incentive schemes are altered through random assignment in a way that allows for causal analysis comparing actual performance against expectations drawn from individual and social effects theories.

Work Fed officials see smaller rate hikes coming 'soon,' minutes show Several Fed officials have said in recent days that they anticipate a likely half-point move in December.\"They\'re getting to a point where they don\'t have to move so quickly. That\'s helpful since they don\'t know exactly how much tightening they\'re going to have to do,\" said Bill English, a former Fed official now with the Yale School of Management. \"They emphasize policy works with lags, so it\'s helpful to be able to go a little bit more slowly.\"Inflation data lately has been showing some encouraging signs while remaining well above the central bank\'s 2% official target.The consumer price index in October was up 7.7% from a year ago, the lowest reading since January. However, a measure the Fed follows more closely, the personal consumption expenditures price index excluding food and energy, showed a 5.1% annual rise in September, up 0.2 percentage points from August and the highest reading since March.Those reports came out after the November Fed meeting. Several officials said they viewed the reports positively but will need to see more before they consider easing up on policy tightening.The Fed has been the target lately of some criticism that it could be tightening too much. The worry is that policymakers are too focused on backward-looking data and missing signs that inflation is ebbing and growth is slowing.However, English expects the Fed officials to keep their collective foot on the brake until there are clearer signals that prices are falling. He added that the Fed is willing to risk a slowing economy as it pursues its goal.\"They have risks in both directions, if doing too little and doing too much. They\'ve been fairly clear that they view the risks of inflation getting out of the box and the need to do a really big tightening as the biggest risk,\" he said. \"It\'s a hard time to be [Fed Chairman Jerome] Powell.\" � Work Health secretary Steve Barclay insists nurses getting fair pay rise as strike dates announced UK politics live I try to monitor the comments below the line (BTL) but it is impossible to read them all.

Work United States Enters a New Era of Direct Confrontation With Iran “The administration used to say that it wanted to put Iran’s nuclear program in a box, and I think that reflected the broader idea of putting the Iran challenge off to the side once a deal was reached,” Mr. Rome said. “But the administration must now contend with the fact that, in essentially all fields, the Iranian threat to international peace and security is greater today than it was two years ago.” � Work Markets: Bitcoin little changed, Ether rises ahead of Shanghai upgrade, XRP climbs Litecoin fell 0.3% to US$78.76, bringing a consecutive run up to an end, but is still up 26.1% in the past seven days, making it the strongest performer on the list over that time.
