Vitalie Stancov, Simon Janssen, Uschi Backes-Gellner, Simone Tuor Sartore, The gender pay gap and performance pay: Is there room for discrimination?, In: Society for the Advancement of Socio Economics, 2011-06-23. (Conference or Workshop Paper) Although discrimination is the most prominent explanation for the gender pay gap, studies providing conclusive evidence are scarce. This paper examines whether discrimination is less severe under performance pay than under time-based pay. To identify an external and measurable source of discrimination we exploit the variation of social norms regarding equal pay for equal work across different regions. We hypothesize the influence of social norms to be smaller in performance than time-based pay because performance pay is more closely tied to workers' productivity and thus employers have less scope for discrimination. Our empirical results show a strong and significant effect of social norms for the time-based component of pay, whereas we cannot identify such an effect for the performance-based component of pay. Therefore, our paper provides a direct proof that discrimination is less severe under performance than time-based pay.

Uschi Backes-Gellner, Rankings upon rankings – and no end in sight Discussion of “Quantitative and Qualitative Rankings of Scholars” by Rost and Frey, In: UZH Business Working Paper Series, No. 378, 2011. (Working Paper) Katja Rost and Bruno S. Frey address an important topic. They compare two kinds of rankings, a conventional allegedly "quantitative“ publication ranking, and a ranking based on the membership on editorial boards of academic journals, which they call "qualitative“. They find that the relation between the two rankings is not linear, but inversely u-shaped. Consequently, they argue that maximizing publication rankings may lead to a decline in research quality. Therefore, basing promotion decisions solely on publication rankings could be counterproductive for science and hence should be avoided.
