英文文献:How Much Control is Enough? Monitoring and Enforcement under Stalin-多少控制就足够了?斯大林的监督和执行
英文文献作者:Andrei Markevich
英文文献摘要:
In hierarchies, agents’ hidden actions increase principals' transactions costs and give rise to a demand for monitoring and enforcement. The fact that the latter are costly raises questions about their scope, organisation, and type. How much control is enough? The paper uses historical records to examine Stalin’s answers to this question. We find that Stalin's behaviour was consistent with his aiming to maximise the efficiency of the Soviet system of control subject to the loyalty of his inspectors and the risk of a “chaos of orders” arising from parallel centres of power.
在层次结构中,代理的隐藏动作增加了主体的事务成本,并导致对监控和实施的需求。后者成本高昂,这一事实引发了人们对其范围、组织和类型的疑问。多少控制就足够了?本文利用历史记录来考察斯大林对这个问题的回答。我们发现,斯大林的行为与他的目标一致,即最大限度地提高苏联控制体系的效率,而这一体系取决于检查员的忠诚,以及平行权力中心产生的“秩序混乱”的风险。
