Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to construct the model of incentive theory for agent issues and to discuss the mechanism of the internal benefit distribution and its influencing factors. The principal-agent relationship of Chinese farmer cooperatives has its own characteristics. By constructing theoretical models of agent incentives which suit for Chinese farmer cooperatives, and based on it, this paper analyzes those related factors, and discovers that the degree of effort made by the core members is inversely proportional to their rents obtained; the incentive for core members' effort has positive correlation with the proportion of their own agricultural products to the total; the higher proportion that the core members shares is, the larger the incentive for them is, the higher the degree of their effort is, and the higher output and surplus to be distributed are. So it is of crucial role that explicitly motivating and implicitly motivating the core members, raising the proportion of ordinary members in leadership structure, increasing internal information transparency to effectively curb the opportunism behavior of the core members and ease the principal-agent problem of the farmer cooperatives.
