ABSTRACT
This paper constructed a duopoly model of labour sharing, analysed the equilibrium results of four scenarios, and made a comparative analysis. The results show that neither a labour gap nor a labour surplus is conducive to increased profits. Enterprises are positively inclined towards labour sharing if it would result in higher profits – a prerequisite for sharing. The cost of labour sharing affects the equilibrium results. Hence, the cost should be controlled within a reasonable range. Labour sharing has different effects on social welfare in different scenarios.
