Abstract
Though the shared investment hypothesis of human capital theory, i.e. that employers and employees share the costs of and the return on investment in firm-specific human capital, is widely accepted, we know little about the empirical evidence. The paper shows that in German data (1984 - 1991) there is no empirical evidence for the shared investment hypothesis. Rather we observe that employers are able to protect one-sided investments against opportunistic bargaining. Moreover there is a positive correlation between the incidence of employer-supported on-the-job training and promotions within firms.
