　　 Why do some employees receive only …xed or incentive pay, while others receive a mix of …xed and incentive pay? Moreover, why do the lengths of wage contracts di¤er across these types of pay? This paper attempts to respond to this economic puzzle by developing a theoretical model of multiperiod contracts that incorporates short-, medium-, and long-term contracts with di¤erent wage pro…les. We obtain di¤erent combinations of these contracts as equilibria when the e¢ ciency of investment in human capital changes endogenously over time. |
