KNOWLEDGE ACCUMULATION WITHIN AN ORGANIZATION
研究了组织内知识积累问题,发现知识创造时间在职业生涯早期最高,随后下降再上升,最后趋于零,并分析了执法问题严重性、知识特异性、工资曲线和初始知识水平的影响。
In this article, we consider a knowledge accumulation problem within an organization that cannot prevent the worker from quitting and using the knowledge outside the organization. We show that knowledge accumulation is delayed: The fraction of working time allocated to knowledge creation is highest at the early career stage, falls gradually, then rises again, before falling finally toward zero. We determine the effect of a change in the severity of the enforcement problem (or the specificity of knowledge). We also discuss the form of the optimal life-cycle wage profiles, the role of the initial knowledge level, and the role of discounting.
