Competition within the Firm: Theory Plus Some Evidence from Medical Group Practice
构建了一个专业合伙企业内部非价格竞争模型，并用医疗团体实践数据检验，结果支持内部成员存在非价格竞争的假设。
Recent work on the economics of the firm and other organizations has emphasized the importance of internal organization and incentives. The issue of competition within the firm has not arisen, however. In this article I construct a model of nonprice competition among members of a professional partnership and test the model with data on medical group practice. The empirical results are consistent with the hypothesis of nonprice competition among members of the firm.
