Efficiency Wages, Deferred Payments, and Direct Incentives in Agriculture
农业劳动力市场的实证证据支持效率工资理论，表明直接雇佣农户支付的高工资或延迟支付是一种效率工资，用于降低监督成本并减少工人偷懒。
Abstract Empirical evidence from agricultural labor markets is consistent with efficiency‐wage theory and inconsistent with several alternative explanations. According to this theory, the higher wage or deferred payment (benefits) that direct‐hire growers pay relative to that of farm labor contractors is an efficiency wage. Growers use this extra compensation to lower their monitoring expenses and reduce shirking by workers.
