Contract Choice in Modern Agriculture: Cash Rent versus Cropshare

E CONOMISTS have expended enormous effort examining the rationale for various contractual arrangements in agriculture, particularly sharecropping. While economists have made considerable theoretical efforts to understand agricultural contracts, few empirical studies have been undertaken. The dearth of empirical analyses of agricultural contracts is particularly striking for modern Western agriculture.' This is an important omission, not only because the existing empirical work tends to focus on the question of efficiency, but also because the theoretical models tend to examine contracts that bear little resemblance to those found in the United States today.

Productivity, efficiency, & effectiveness in the management of healthcare technology: an incentive pay proposal.

Modern healthcare managers are looking for better ways to motivate their employees as well as document and evaluate employee performance. The term productivity is familiar to most healthcare managers. The term efficiency is less familiar. These terms are defined and their significance for use as unique and valuable indicators of effective employee performance is discussed. Similar criteria were applied to make a general comparison between biomedical technician performance in two different hospitals in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, in Central America. A performance-based incentive program using an Incentive Pay Index chart is proposed as a tool through which hospital or company managers can provide technicians or technologists with ongoing motivation to improve both their productivity and efficiency on the job.

Incentive Pay in the Public Sector: A Discriminant Analysis of Professional Employee Responses

This study examines an incentive pay system designed for professional employees in the public sector. During a two-year trial period, 73.6 percent of the subjects reached production goals and earned the maximum pay (10 percent above base). Despite the employees’ ability to attain maximum earnings, only a slight majority expressed a desire for continuation of the incentive pay program. Examination of survey responses indicates that those earning the maximum were the least likely to favor continuation of the program. This study uses multiple discriminant analysis to identify respondent characteristics exerting the greatest influence on their acceptance of this incentive pay system. Implications for designing pay for performance plans for professionals are discussed.
