使用定向搜索模型的产品市场和劳动力市场，我表明，大型工厂可以支付更高的工资同质工人和赚取更高的预期利润，每个工人比小型工厂，虽然工厂是相同的，除了大小。大型工厂对其产品收取更高的价格，并以更高的服务概率补偿买方。为了获得这种与规模相关的好处，大型工厂试图通过高薪招聘来扩大规模.这种规模工资差异在劳动力市场竞争中幸存下来，因为高工资比低工资更难获得。此外，当需求最初较低时，规模工资差异随着产品需求而增加，当需求已经很高时，规模工资差异就会福尔斯。2002年宾夕法尼亚大学经济学系和大坂大学社会经济研究协会版权所有
Using directed search to model the product market and the labor market, I show that large plants can pay higher wages to homogeneous workers and earn higher expected profit per worker than small plants, although plants are identical except size. A large plant charges a higher price for its product and compensates buyers with a higher service probability. To capture this size- related benefit, large plants try to become larger by recruiting at high wages. This size-wage differential survives labor market competition because a high wage is harder to get than a low wage. Moreover, the size-wage differential increases with the product demand when demand is initially low and falls when demand is already high.
