However, we show the appearance of an undesirable component of rational altruism when marginal productivities differ across team members and an egalitarian sharing rule is used. We call this new component of rational altruism the Perverse Element of Rational Altruism (PERA). The presence of the PERA decreases team efficiency. In this sense, and considering several scenarios, an analysis of welfare implications and the evolution of team efficiency are presented. 000162483 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S42-17R-CREVALOR$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MEC/ECO2009-09623 000162483 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby-nc-nd$$uhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.es 000162483 590__ $$a0.0$$b2014 000162483 591__ $$aBUSINESS 000162483 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000162483 700__ $$aRamírez-Alesón, Marisa 000162483 7102_ $$14012$$2650$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
