Abstract
Theoretical articles on incentive systems almost exclusively focus on linear compensations, while, in practice, nonlinear elements, such as quota bonuses, are not uncommon. Our article tries to bridge that gap; it shows how the use of quotas can increase the owners' profits, which agents are targeted by these incentives, and which factors determine the optimal bonus.
