The fixed wage puzzle: Why profit sharing is so hard to implement
It is well known that profit sharing arrangements Pareto-dominate fixed wage contracts. Share agreements are (far) less than ubiquitous, however. This paper offers a solution of this 'fixed wage puzzle' by adopting a perspective of bounded rationality. We show that share arrangements that fulfill 'plausible' constraints are not generally acceptable to both firms and unions.
