The Relationship between Wages and Firm Size: An Information Theoretic Analysis
通过一个企业规模内生的模型，推导出企业规模与平均工资的正相关关系以及连续的工资分布，并分析了工人信息不完全对工资水平的影响。
The paper derives a positive relationship between the size of establishments and their average wage levels, together with a continuous wage distribution, from a model where firm sizes are endogenous. A fraction of the workers are imperfectly informed from friends about firms' wage strategies and the rest search among firms at random. The greater the share of workers that are informed, the higher is the average wage level and the smaller is the difference between firms' wage levels. Costly interfirm labor mobility is in general shown to be socially excessive.
