Re: [OPE] Invention, Inventors, and the Productivity of Labor

So Paul, how free are those people responsible for a certain productive unit to dispose of the labour budget in order to produce the best they can?  A.

If a unit of production making good A is producing efficiently and another also making A inefficiently, then the labour budget of the efficient unit should be increased to expand production there and the labour budget of the less efficient one correspondingly reduced. In effect labour is transfered to the more efficient unit. The collective in the inefficient unit then has an incentive to improve their utilisation of resources to keep their work teams together come the next plan period. _______________________________________________ ope mailing list ope@lists.csuchico.edu https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/ope
