FIFA allocated $230 million total for incentives at the 2006 World Cup. The allocation structure was convex, with the 1st place team receiving $19 million and decreasing amounts for lower finishes. Additional payments of $217 thousand were awarded for each win. The incentive structure encouraged greater effort, as the difference in payouts between places increased further down the bracket. Teams were estimated to increase their goals and performance by 21-55% due to the convex incentive structure.

The document discusses a study on student satisfaction at universities. It examines different factors that can motivate students, including holding high expectations, helping students set goals, and being enthusiastic about the subject. It also describes an experiment using a basic human capital model to analyze students' choices between effective and ineffective learning based on expected future wages. A questionnaire was administered asking students about incentives, and the results showed high alignment with teaching incentives but lower alignment for monetary and research incentives.
