Monitoring Costs in Chinese Agricultural Teams
利用1970-76年中国农业团队样本，估算出在平均主义生产队中相互监督的劳动力成本约占劳动总时间的10-20%，低于基于宏观数据的估计。
Large productivity gains have been observed in Chinese agriculture following the transition from collective farming to household contracting. Using a model of mutual monitoring in an egalitarian production team, the authors estimate that labor supervision absorbed about 10-20 percent of total labor time for a sample of Chinese agricultural teams during 1970-76. These agency costs are lower than comparable estimates derived from aggregate data. Copyright 1993 by University of Chicago Press.
