A group of researchers including Chicago Booth’s Emir Kamenica examined how a change in compensation affected the willingness of members of the European Parliament (MEPs) to run for reelection. They find that better pay had a significant effect on MEPs’ interest in being reelected—but only for those with a relatively poor education, who also tend to be less productive than their colleagues.
