Abstract

Employee profit-sharing plans have attracted attention as a compensation scheme with significant potential to improve both microeconomic and macroeconomic performance. The macroeconomic potential is based on the "share economy" theory, developed primarily by M. Weitzman, that profit sharing leads to lower unemployment and greater stability for the economy as a whole. The microeconomic potential is based on the theory that group incentive plans can result in higher quantity and quality of output by encouraging worker effort, cooperation and sharing of ideas and information. This paper briefly reviews evidence on both theories and discuss the rationales for public policy.
