摘要

我们记录了加纳小公司所有者对劳动力再分配的兴趣;分别有 60% 和 41% 的小公司所有者自称愿意雇用当地公司所有者或为其工作。在贝克尔-德格鲁特-马沙克(Becker-Degroot-Marschak)研究中,企业主也表现出较高的支付意愿,以获取随机子集的招聘企业和求职企业主的信息。在获得这些信息方面的条件性随机变化会立即在企业内部和企业之间产生劳动力调整,但很少会影响企业主本身,并影响干预后 5 个月的企业倒闭。我们的研究结果表明,在我们的情况下,这种劳动力市场信息既有价值又可操作。

Allocating labor across small firms: Experimental evidence on information constraints

We document interest in labor reallocation among small firm owners in Ghana; 60% and 41%, respectively, self-report willingness to hire or work for the average local firm owner. Firm owners also exhibit high willingness-to-pay for information on a random subset of hiring firms and jobseeking firm owners during a Becker–Degroot–Marschak exercise. Conditionally random variation in access to this information generates immediate labor adjustments within and between firms, though rarely of firm owners themselves, and impacts firm closure 5-months post-intervention. Our findings suggest that labor market information of this kind is both valuable and actionable in our context.
