本文提出了一个生产函数描述过程中的任何几个任务的错误。它表明，高技能的工人--那些很少犯错误的人--将在均衡中被匹配在一起，工资和产出将在技能方面急剧上升。这一模式与国家间收入差距大、穷国小企业占主导地位以及企业内不同职业工人工资之间的正相关性是一致的。技能的不完美可观察性导致不完美匹配，从而导致溢出效应、战略互补和教育多重均衡。
This paper proposes a production function describing processes subject to mistakes in any of several tasks. It shows that high-skill workers-those who make few mistakes-will be matched together in equilibrium, and that wages and output will rise steeply in skill. The model is consistent with large income differences between countries, the predominance of small firms in poor countries, and the positive correlation between the wages of workers in different occupations within enterprises. Imperfect observability of skill leads to imperfect matching and thus to spillovers, strategic complementarity, and multiple equilibria in education.
