Análisis de productividad comparada entre empresas de trabajo asociado y empresas capitalistas en España

Alí Colina Rojas, Pilar Zarzosa Espina

Resumen


Las cooperativas de trabajadores han sido comparadas con sus homólogas capitalistas en diferentes contextos y aplicando diferentes metodologías. En España, el estudio de las cooperativas industriales de Mondragón ha generado una literatura extensa; sin embargo, los trabajos empíricos que comparan las dos formas organizacionales son escasos. Esta investigación representa un aporte empírico para el caso de la industria manufacturera española y se demuestra que la productividad de la forma cooperativa es menor que la productividad de las empresas capitalistas. Para obtener este resultado se estimó una función de producción Cobb-Douglas mediante el método de momentos generalizados. El modelo econométrico incluye una variable ficticia que recoge el efecto que la forma organizacional de trabajo asociado tiene sobre la productividad del trabajo.


Palabras clave


empresas de trabajo asociado; análisis comparativo de la productividad; función de producción Cobb-Douglas; microdatos de panel
