This paper solves for the optimal(effort-maximizing) rating within the standard career concerns framework. We prove that this rating is a linear function of past observations. The rating, however, is not a Markov process, but rather the sum of two Markov processes. We show how it combines information of different types and vintages. An increase in effort may adversely affect some (but not all) future ratings. date: 2020-08 date_type: published publisher: TSE Working Paper official_url: http://tse-fr.eu/pub/124605 faculty: tse divisions: tse keywords: Career Concerns keywords: Mechanism Design keywords: Ratings. language: en has_fulltext: TRUE view_date_year: 2020 full_text_status: public monograph_type: working_paper series: TSE Working Paper volume: 20-1134 place_of_pub: Toulouse pages: 63 institution: Université Toulouse 1 Capitole department: Toulouse school of economics book_title: TSE Working Paper oai_identifier: oai:tse-fr.eu:124605 harvester_local_overwrite: department harvester_local_overwrite: publish_to_hal harvester_local_overwrite: faculty harvester_local_overwrite: pending harvester_local_overwrite: abstract harvester_local_overwrite: pages harvester_local_overwrite: place_of_pub harvester_local_overwrite: creators_affiliation harvester_local_overwrite: institution harvester_local_overwrite: creators_idrefppn harvester_local_overwrite: creators_halaffid harvester_local_overwrite: hal_id harvester_local_overwrite: hal_version harvester_local_overwrite: hal_url harvester_local_overwrite: hal_passwd oai_lastmod: 2022-08-05T09:22:10Z oai_set: tse site: ut1 publish_to_hal: FALSE hal_id: hal-03187510 hal_passwd: by6fwkm hal_version: 1 hal_url: https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-03187510 citation: Hörner, Johannes and Lambert, Nicolas (2020) Motivational Ratings.
