The Empirical Performance of Orthodox Models of the Firm: Conventional Firms and Worker Cooperatives
比较同一行业、同一地点、同一时期的传统企业和工人合作社对投入和产出价格变化的反应，检验其行为是否符合正统的利润和股息最大化模型。
Though it is routinely posited that organizations with different property rights will not exhibit the same responses to changes in their economic environment, compelling evidence of such behavior is difficult to find. The authors collected observations on two types of firms--conventional proprietorships and worker-owned cooperatives--operating in the same industry, in the same location, and at the same period of time. They compare the firms' reactions to changes in their input and output prices and ask whether their reactions are consistent with orthodox models of profit and dividend maximization.
