Abstract
We study the strategic investment behaviour of oligopsonistic rivals in the
labour market. Under wage competition, firms play "puppy dog" with productivityaugmenting
investment and "fat cat" with supply-enhancing investment. Under
employment competition, investing strategically always involves playing "top dog".
