Economic Analysis of Human Resource Allocation

本项目旨在分析人力资源配置在社会生产力和等级制度中的作用。我们总结了下面的结果。为了理解人力资源配置如何影响总生产率，我们从理论上分析了高等教育与人力资源配置以及企业专用性人力资本与人力资源配置之间的关系。我们还实证调查了日本公司总裁的更迭如何改变公司的战略。为了了解人力资源配置如何影响社会中的层级结构，我们实证考察了晋升和横向转移之间的关系，以及并购后经理在目标公司的任期如何影响董事保留率。我们还应用了一个先前开发的模型来理解公司间的层级结构。最后，我们积累了一些数据，比如大学排名和官员的职业生涯。

This project is aimed at analyzing the role of human resource allocation on the productivity and hierarchy in the society. We summarize the results below. To understand how human resource allocation influences the aggregate productivity, we theoretically analyzed the relation between higher education and human resource allocation and between a firm specific human capital and human resource allocation. We also empirically investigated how the changes in presidents at Japanese corporations change the firms' strategy. To understand how human resource allocation influences the hierarchy in the society, we empirically investigated the relation between promotion and lateral transfer and how managers' tenure in target influences the retention rate as a director after M&A. We also applied a previously developed model to Japanese data to understand the hierarchy across firms. Finally, we accumulated several data such as university ranking and career for bureaucrats.
