Abstract

Performance-related pay has been much advocated by governments as a means of promoting labour market flexibility and generating higher productivity. The UK government has been in th lead in providing incentives for profit-related pay, one particular form of performance-related pay (PRP). This paper adopts a different approach to measurement of the impact of PRP on productivity.
