From “restrictions” arise opportunities! Meeting researchers with shared interests and creating new networks was not easy this year. However, the IAAEU, in cooperation with the Chair of Personnel Economics at Faculty IV, hosted another one-day virtual workshop. The workshop took place on Friday, November 20th, and it was a platform to let people meet without traveling. This time we offered a virtual room on the topic “Organizations, Incentives and Performance Pay”.
As per usual of the TriECON virtual events, including this time, we had two goals. We wanted to create an active discussion about a central research topic while, at the same time, receive feedback on the research that members of the IAAEU are pursuing. We were able to gather experts who presented their recent research on how to incentivize workers and the effects of these policies. Among us, Alberto Palermo presented a paper written with Laszlo Goerke and Marco de Pinto (formerly IAAEU) on the welfare effects that arise when competing firms, facing spillover effects, are uninformed about workers’ characteristics. All the presenters were grateful for the remarks and suggestions coming from the attendees.
We are happy with the results that we achieved in organizing the event and would like to thank all the participants again. Exciting comments from the presenters and attendees also made us proud of what we have accomplished. A common claim was “nowadays we do not meet so often and putting all of us together has been really nice”. This what we aimed for, we did it, and will continue doing so!
The program for this past workshop can be found here, whereas, for our future topics, we invite all interested persons to visit our website and participate in the coming events.
