Abstract
The first part of the paper analyses the optimal decision rule of manager who is able to transfer into his own hands a part of the output of a firm set up with foreign capital. It is shown that in a two-period framework with incomplete information about the nature of the manager, a rational expectation equilibrium exists where managers’ behaviour and investors’ expectations are mutually consistent. In particular, some yound managers may aim at building a reputation of an honest person, then behave dishonestly when getting old. The global performance of an economy hosting a large number of managers is investigated in the second part of the paper.
