Abstract We partner with a large firm in Argentina to produce evidence on the causal link between workers’ sexual activity and subsequent job performance. Our experimental approach induces excitement in workers’ partners by exposing them to a video with explicit sexual content. Then, we use partners’ excitement as an instrument for workers’ sexual activity to estimate (via an instrumental variables approach) the causal impact of sexual activity on individual measures of job performance. We study the causal link between workers’ sexual activity and subsequent happiness and productivity. Our experimental approach induces excitement in subjects’ partners by exposing them to a video with explicit sexual content. Then, we use partners’ excitement as an instrument for subjects’ sexual activity to estimate (via an instrumental variables approach) the causal impact of sexual activity on individual measures of productivity.
