| Abstract: | We examine training and recruitment policies in a two period model that
nests two forms of production, "routine" work where ability
and effort are substitutes and "creative" work where they are
complements. Alternative ways of improving average ability have opposite
implications for agents career concerns. While teaching to the top
(training complementary to ability) or identifying star performers
increases agents career concerns, teaching to the bottom has the
opposite effect. The paper also makes more general comments relating to
models of reputation. |
