核心雇员、信息与企业家才能租金

Critical Employee,Information and Entrepreneurial Rents

本文分析作为雇主的企业家通过掌握潜在核心雇员创造企业租金潜质的私人信息而赚取租金的特质。如果一个企业家能够先于竞争对手发现某个潜在的未被发掘的人才,就能在竞争性劳动力市场上以保留工资水平将其雇佣。该人才作为企业不可完全替代的核心雇员,能够制造不可完全替代的产品从而为企业带来垄断收益。由于拥有关于核心雇员能力的私人信息,企业家将获得垄断收益作为信息租金。长期来看,在核心雇员的生产能力成为公共信息后,劳动力市场针对他所展开的买方竞争会推动其收入上升到企业家租金消失为止。为了继续获得这种信息租金,企业家要么不断深入发现该核心雇员新的潜在能力,要么寻找新的未被其他企业发现的潜在人才。
