In the part of the instructions to participants that explains the rebus‐puzzle design task in our paper ‘‘Incentives for Creativity’’ (Erat and Gneezy Reference Erat and Gneezy2016), there are several shared phrases from Kachelmeier et al. (Reference Kachelmeier, Reichert and Williamson2008). We failed to cite them, and wish to correct this here. In their paper, Kachelmeier et al. (Reference Kachelmeier, Reichert and Williamson2008) examine how worker productivity differs when compensation is based on quantity, creativity, or the product of both measures. They find that combining quantity and creativity measures in a creativity‐weighted pay scheme results in creativity weighted productivity scores that are significantly lower than those generated by participants with quantity incentives alone. See also Kachelmeier and Williamson (Reference Kachelmeier and Williamson2010) for a follow-up study on self-selection, which shows that participants choosing a creativity‐based incentive scheme exhibit more creativity initially, but are not any more creative overall.
