Abstract

We develop a Principal-Agent model to analyze the optimal composition of the compensation policy with both monetary and nonmonetary incentives. We characterize nonmonetary benefits as symbols to capture a large set of non-wage compensations such as fringe benefits, status, identity (or self-image) or even sanctions. We characterize the optimal composition of the compensation policy when the Principal fully or imperfectly knows the Agent's preferences

Keywords: Fringe benefits, Non-Monetary Incentives, Perquisites
