Abstract: Summary Empirical results show that german firms invest heavily in general and transferable human capital of their employees. Different theoretical approaches to the explanation of this fact, which is in contrast to the results of standard human capital theory, are discussed. An alternative hypothesis is presented, which explains the investment of employers in general human capital as a result of the efficient division of risk and the implementation of efficent incentive structures.
