文摘There are two ideal types of enterprise downsizing,one is based on planning economy, where workers are allocated by the state, the other is based on market economy, where workers get or leave their jobs according to the labor contracts. The laid-off list in the factories in China in the second half of 1990s is different from both the labor allocation before the reform and the labor market in western country. The complexity of the laid-off list making reflects the complexity of the factory regimes. The author analyzes different workshop regimes by using the concept of “workshop game”, and points out the differences in dynamic, criterion, and operation in the process of the laid-off list making in different kind of factories in transitional China.
