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. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S42-17R-CREVALOR info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MEC/ECO2009-09623 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.es 0.0 2014 BUSINESS info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Ramírez-Alesón, Marisa 4012 650 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
