Workers are more productive in large firms
Article Abstract:
A productivity hypothesis supporting the premise that labor productivity is a function of work effort is presented. The hypothesis supports the premises that production is characterized by increasing returns and that employees at larger companies are more productive and command higher wages in a competitive labor market. Moreover, the shape of the size-wage relation correlates with worker preferences, technology and working conditions.
