Pressure to Hire, Technology Adoption, and Productivity:
Experimental Evidence from Uganda
REFNo: SS2013ES
1. The project aims at contributing to several strands of the literature. First, an emerging literature
hasshown how social- and self-image concerns affect the labor market through changesin the labor
supply
2. Our evidence suggests that the reputational concerns associated to hiring and technology
adoption decisions are induced by resource-sharing practices with kin and neighbors.
3. Finally, our work links to the literature on cross-country differences in productivity. Lewis et al.
(1954) observed that developing economies have a large “traditional sector” where marginal
productivity is low and where workers may be compensated above their marginal product through
informal arrangements (see Gollin (2014) for a recent discussion). When wages do not equal
marginal product, workers may be employed in relatively less-productive tasks, resulting in
misallocations. Gollinetal
