Reputation and earnings dynamics

Boyan Jovanovic () and Julien Prat

Journal of Economic Theory, 2021, vol. 191, issue C

Abstract: Cyclical patterns in earnings can arise when contracts between firms and their workers are incomplete, and when workers cannot borrow or lend so as to smooth their consumption. Effort cycles generate occasional large changes in earnings. These large changes are transitory, consistent with recent empirical findings.
