Profit, productivity, and profit-sharing
Journal of Economics and Finance, 1993This study is an investigation of the effect of profit-sharing on labor productivity. When monitoring labor performance is costly for management, a regular wage/salary contract is insufficient to induce profit-maximizing behavior from the worker. The authors demonstrate that when this profit-maximizing behavior can be induced only through profit ...

Abstract This chapter addresses the vast profits made by some during the COVID-19 pandemic. These include companies that provided medical equipment and protective masks, drug companies that developed treatments and vaccines, and, less laudably, medical misinformers willing to use anti-vaccine demagogy to grow their audience.

‘Profit’ variability in for-profit and not-for-profit hospitals
Journal of Health Economics, 1991This paper proposes two tests of the hypothesis that not-for-profit hospitals (NFPs) behave differently than for-profit hospitals. The profit variability test states that the profits of an NFP will be less variable over time than profits of a for-profit hospital if the NFP maximizes utility subject to a profit constraint.

The Profits of Not-for-Profit Hospitals
Journal of Health Politics, Policy and Law, 1988This paper explores the profits of not-for-profit (NFP) hospitals and identifies the factors that determine whether such profits are adequate. A model which relates hospital charges to surpluses is used to derive NFP surplus from gross patient charges and operating costs.

Oxford Economic Papers, 1978
Abstract Wages and profits must be regarded as simultaneously determined—profits must not be regarded as a residual. In the short period both are determined by current demand, profits fluctuating much more strongly than wages. More important is the long-period factor, which depends upon capital-labor substitution elasticity.

Estimating Profit Performance from Similar Profit Centers
Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science, 1981A decision model involving discriminant analysis provides a method by which both upper and middle managers can avoid some pitfalls that are likely to result in the substantially subjective process of pertbrmance evaluation of profit centers. It is designed to provide more objective, more timely, and possibly more accurate information.

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2016Do firms engaging in international trade have higher or lower profit margins? It is well-established that more productive firms engage in trading activities and as a result have higher profit levels. We use two theoretical models (the Melitz model and the Egger-Kreickemeier model) to clarify the relationship between productivity, trade activity, and ...

More precisely, motivated by theoretical research on fair wages and unionized labor markets, profit sharing is estimated for six different profitability categories: positive, increasing, positive and increasing, negative, decreasing and ...
