Organization and Inequality in a Knowledge Economy*
提出一个均衡理论，解释知识经济中技能异质个体如何通过知识层级组织生产，并分析组织如何扩大知识差距和工资不平等，以及知识获取技术进步与沟通成本下降的不同影响。
We present an equilibrium theory of the organization of work in an economy where knowledge is an essential input in production and agents are heterogeneous in skill. Agents organize production by matching with others in knowledge hierarchies designed to use and communicate their knowledge efficiently. Relative to autarky, organization leads to larger cross-sectional differences in knowledge and wages: low skill workers learn and earn relatively less. We show that improvements in the technology to acquire knowledge lead to opposite implications on wage inequality and organization than reductions in communication costs.
