Product market competition
Introduction:
There
are two kinds of product market competition that are relevant in corporate governance. 1)
Competition in the firm's product markets, and 2) competition in the
product markets of the firm’s owners if they are firms as well. For instance the
product markets of an institutional investor.
Product market competition is of
major importance in corporate governance because it affects the incentives of
managers and
thereby
the economic efficiency of the companies they manage. A
classic reference on product market competition is Hart
[1983].
