引入管理者要素的企业生产模型

A New Production Model with Managerial Worker

本文以新制度经济学家提出的交易费用概念为出发点,明确引入管理者要素构建的生产者努力函数对传统生产模型进行了修正。新模型中生产者直接参与生产,而管理者通过影响生产者的努力系数间接参与生产过程。本文探讨了均衡条件下企业对生产者、管理者需求弹性的变化规律,一是劳动者需求价格弹性仅受企业内相对工资水平与生产技术的影响,劳动者绝对工资数量的多寡、产品价格的高低都不起作用;二是企业对劳动力的需求交叉弹性为负数,这意味着新模型中的生产者与管理者要素是互补品而非替代品。

Traditional Economics has long ignored the fact that different types of labors may affect the output of a finn. Based on the core conception of transaction cost invented by New Institutional Economics, this paper constructs a new effort function and modifies the traditional production model by implicitly introducing one type of labor input- managerial worker. In the new model, productive worker is engaged in the production directly, while the managerial worker contributes to production by influencing the effort of productive worker, This paper examines the properties of effort function and new production function. In equilibrium, we further analyze the demand for labor （including productive worker and managerial worker ） with the tool of demand elasticity. We find out that （1） the price elasticity of demand for labor is dependent on relative wage level and techniques, but independent of absolute wage level and the price of product; （2） the cross elasticity of demand is negative, which implies that productive worker and managerial worker are complementary goods, instead of substitute goods.
