This is a short analysis of task distribution within my own profession, hanging wallpaper.
A simple way to think about how different agents are assigned different tasks is by looking at solely two agents, A and H, and two tasks, 1 and 2, with the level of output, y, governed by y=ƒ(τ1, τ2), where τ1 and τ2 are the amounts of task 1 and 2 carried out. To understand which agent would perform which task more optimally it is normally assumed that the agents are heterogeneous (for if they had the same abilities to perform a task, deciding on which one would more optimally perform a task would be a pointless inquiry) and the tasks, similarly, are heterogeneous, requiring different skills. Agent A’s ability is characterized by the pair aA1, aA2, with aAi representing the maximum amount of task i (1, 2) he can perform if he devotes all of his time to it. Similarly, the pair (aH1, aH2) characterizes agent H’s ability. The final assumption of the model is that agents are free to perform both tasks.

Back in a week or so. Got to go make this official.

We start the “Keynesian Revolution” today in econ.

“Action expresses priorities” sounds familiar.
