This paper develops a novel, geometric approach to modelling a firm's hierarchical structure. We model the firm''s hierarchy as the sector of a circle, in which the radius represents the height of the hierarchy and the angle of the sector represents the width of the hierarchy. The firm then...

This paper develops a method to conduct non-hierarchical bivariate decomposition of Theil indexes. The method has the merits that, first, it treats all variates symmetrically and therefore facilitates the comparison of inequalities associated with different variates and, second, it highlights...

In this paper, we develop a measure of industry specific human capital using the Tobin's q theory. The measure is derived from a structural model of heterogeneous knowledge labor, which is homogeneous physical labor embodied with industry specific human capital.
