Cash Incentives and Military Enlistment, Attrition, and Reenlistment

By Paul Heaton, Beth Asch, James Hosek

To determine whether enlistment and reenlistment bonuses are effective in maintaining or increasing the supply of personnel to the armed forces, the authors provide an empirical analysis of bonuses' effects. They developed models to assess whether bonuses have contributed to recruiting success and retention, whether they have been used flexibly, and whether they have been used efficiently, using data for each service, but particularly the Army.
