Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This article develops a multitask agency model in which the agent has to make investments for producing both contractible output and non-contractible intermediate input in a dynamic framework when the principal can fire the agent under a certain contract. The model predicts that if the diversion cost for the principal is sufficiently small, the principal prefers the long-term wage contract without firing rather than the short-term wage contract or the long-term wage contract with firing. However, if the diversion cost for the principal becomes larger, the principal may be more likely to prefer the short-term wage contract or the long-term wage contract with firing. Furthermore, if the agent's bargaining power increases, the more likely the long-term wage contracts are chosen.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
日本における働き方改革は欧米に比べあまり機能していない。そこで本研究では、どのような状況で経営者のみならず、現行の従業員をクビにし、どのような契約形態が望ましいかを現実に近いマルチ・タスクのエージェントを用いて分析した。従業員と雇用者、両方にとって非効率が生じるような状況が是正されるような点に意義があると考える。また、日本を代表する企業(オリンパス、シャープ、東芝、神戸製鋼など)で相次いで生じた会計不祥事やガバナンスの欠如の問題を防ぎ日本企業の信用を回復するためにはどのような経営者報酬システムが社会的に見て望ましいのか、という問題に論理的な筋道を与えることができるという事が挙げられる。
