Abstract

The results of an experiment involving income sharing being reported here, show that rather than being largely indifferent to the stage of implementation when an input takes effect, as implicitly assumed in nearly all economic analyses, timing appears to play an important role in determining the deservingness of reward. Among other implications, these findings appear to have direct consequences for emerging rules, and proposed alternatives, for sharing in venture capital investments.
