摘要：

We analyze two different ways of operationalizing effort in laboratory experiments: real effort where participants work on a specific task, and chosen effort where participants choose increasingly costly effort levels. Our results support equivalence between chosen effort and real effort. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
