Depends on what is being produced. If it's shirts and toys, yes. If
it's innovative technologies and engineering or applied education, no.

In fact, productivity declines when wage incentives are introduced in
the higher end. Imagine that! Seems odd, but it is true.

Sure, give a piece worker another penny to produce more and she will,
but not a softwear maker.
