Specialist vs. Generalist: Efficiency in Multitasking
Abstract We show that under multitasking — where tasks can be substitutes or complements — a specialist worker with an uneven skill distribution can outperform a generalist with higher average skills. We use a principal–agent model to study worker efficiency and welfare. The main result is robust if a rent-efficiency trade-off is added.
