Cooperation in Ongoing Organizations
论证重叠博弈能为长期存在的组织提供自然理论,表明参与无限期组织会改变有限生命个体的激励,比静态模型预测更多合作,并应用于描述组织内职业路径,发现让最年轻工人承担最艰巨任务可能是最优的。
This paper argues that overlapping games can provide a natural theory of long-lived organizations. It shows that participation in organizations of infinite duration changes the incentives of agents with finite lives, and will induce more cooperation than a static model would predict. After developing the general theory, we apply it to the description of career paths in organizations and show that it can be optimal to give the youngest workers the most arduous tasks.
