As impressive as the data may be, it is nopanacea, We now know what has happenedand is happening, but, owing to the complexity of the modern world, we may be less capable of understanding why it happened. Empirical findings may be
misleading. Data on piece-rate work oftenshows that the more people are paid per unitof output, the less they produce. A model in which pay depends on work conditions canexplain those data.

Instead, more difficult work conditions require higher perunit pay. (查看原文)
