Lectures in Microeconomics-Charles W. Upton Applying the Premium for Honesty Three Examples

Applying the Premium for Honesty Why McDonalds rewards its franchisees A McDonald’s franchise has large value to the owner.

Applying the Premium for Honesty Why McDonalds rewards its franchisees A McDonald’s franchise has large value to the owner. Why doesn’t McDonald’s just raise the franchise fee?

Applying the Premium for Honesty Why McDonalds rewards its franchisees The answer seems to be to encourage honesty. –It takes time to discover a dishonest franchise holder –There must be a reward for honesty or else people would cheat.

Applying the Premium for Honesty Overpaying Managers John Smith has been doing good work, for $10 an hour, the market wage.

Applying the Premium for Honesty Overpaying Managers John Smith has been doing good work, for $10 an hour, the market wage. You are willing to promote him to manager, on the basis of asymmetric information. –That is, you know he is good but the market will not recognize that nor will it value it.

Applying the Premium for Honesty Overpaying Managers The promotion means extra stress and calls for some extra compensation. You could give him a pay raise to $15 an hour, which would provide exact compensation for the extra stress. (That is, leave him on the same indifference curve)

Applying the Premium for Honesty Overpaying Managers You could raise his pay even higher to (say) $18 an hour. The extra raise is an inducement to be honest.

Applying the Premium for Honesty Overpaying Managers If you don’t Smith takes the promotion and the raise, but does not do a good quality job of being manager He doesn’t incur the stress. He gets fired when he is found out, but he can go somewhere else for $10 a hour.

Applying the Premium for Honesty Overpaying Managers It is all gain this way. He gets the extra $5 an hour until he is found out, without incurring the stress that comes with being a good manager.

Applying the Premium for Honesty Non-Salvageable Investments Another way of handling asymmetric information.

Applying the Premium for Honesty Non-Salvageable Investments Advertising and establishing a brand name –Sam’s Appliances spends $500,000 advertising “Sam is a good guy”. –If Sam is found to be a crook, that advertising was worthless.

Applying the Premium for Honesty Back to John Smith Paying John $18 vs. $15 an hour costs you $6,000 a year. If John goofs off, how much will this cost you until you find out? –$5,000 and it takes a year to find out –$7,000 and it takes a year to find out
