Product market competition and management quality among small and medium-sized enterprises: Evidence from Burkina Faso
Soumaïla Gansonré, Sugrinoma Aristide Ouédraogo

While the relationship between competition and managerial incentives is mostly found to be ambiguous in theory, testing it empirically has been challenged by the lack of robust quantitative data. Using(...)
