Abstract: | The authors examine compensation contracts for managers in imperfectly competitive product markets. They show that strategic interactions among firms can explain the lack of relative performance-based incentives in which compensation decreases with rival firm performance. The need to soften product market competition generates an optimal compensation contract that places a positive weight on both own and rival performance. |
