| Abstract: | According to the human capital theory the source of the discrepancies between actual and opportunity marginal product of a group of employees with homogeneous observable characteristics is technological. Another cause of this divergence is investigated in a job signalling context. The main facts of the analysis are that: (1) an informational surplus due to information differentials among firms about worker abilities may arise; (2) symmetric information between employer and employees is incompatible with a positive informational surplus if the parties engage in wage bargaining; (3) group performance signals are a cause of interdependence between job assignments even in the absence of technical complementarity. |
