How Do Incentives Affect Creativity?Katharina EckartzFriedrich-Schiller-University Jena Oliver KirchkampUniversity of Jena - Economics Department; CESifo (Center for Economic Studies and Ifo Institute for Economic Research) Daniel SchunkUniversity of Zurich - Institute for Empirical Research in Economics December 12, 2012 CESifo Working Paper Series No. 4049 Abstract: We compare performance in a word based creativity task under three incentive schemes: a flat fee, a linear payment and a tournament. Furthermore, we also compare performance under two control tasks (Raven’s advanced progressive matrices or a number-adding task) with the same treatments. In all tasks we find that incentives seem to have very small effects and that differences in performance are predominantly related to individual skills.
