Factor Pricing in the Assignment Problem
分析了线性规划指派问题中的收入分配理论,通过数值例子说明工资差异取决于工人和机器属性,并与新古典和人力资本理论对比。
The income distribution theory inherent in the linear programming assignment problem i; analyzed. In a context in which workers are assigned to machines, dual prices correspond to worker wages and machine rents. The principle which guides the assignment is contrasted with comparative advantage. Using factor analysis, wage differences are shown to depend on both worker and machine properties. The determination of wage differences is illustrated in a numerical example. The assignment theory is then compared with neoclassical and human capital theories.
