Abstract

It is widely accepted that only the protection of private property rights and competi-
tion by rival firms provide adequate incentives to perform for managers and employees.
However, it is not entire!}' clear how ownership interacts with competition. This paper
centres around the question of ownership of firms and managerial competition and how
these affect managers and employees' incentives to invest in human capital.
