Risk Choices and Compensation Design

چکیده
We analyze the impact of bad-tail risks on managerial pay functions, especially the decision to pay managers in stock or in options. In contrast to conventional wisdom, we find that options are often a superior vehicle for limiting managerial incentives to take bad-tail risks while providing incentives to exert effort. Arrangements similar to collar options are able to incent the desired project choice in wider range of circumstances than call options or stock. However, information requirements appear high. We briefly explore alternatives with features similar to maluses and clawbacks, which are a bit like weakening the limited liability of managers.

Board Compensation and Risk-Taking: The Moderating Role of CEO Duality (Evidence from Banking Industry)
The purpose of this paper is to explore relationship between board compensation and risk taking with regard to CEO duality in the banking industry. Using a panel data regression model, with regard to optimal contracting and managerial power theory, we examined the data to determine the relationship between board compensation and risk taking of twenty one banks, for the period 2012 to 2018. R...
متن کاملStocks or Options: Risk Choices and Compensation Design
We analyze the impact of the existence of bad-tail risks on the decision to pay managers in stocks or in options and find that, contrary to conventional wisdom that options incent higher risk-taking, options are sometimes the superior vehicle for limiting managerial incentives to take bad-tail risks. Though options have not been the dominant form of compensation in the financial services indust...
متن کاملInsurer Ownership Structure and Executive Compensation as Complements
The authors apply results on complementarities to theories of insurance companies’ choices of ownership structure and executive compensation. They identify minimal restrictions on the interaction between firm policies and exogenous characteristics for theories to have testable implications for reduced-form regression coefficients. Obtaining testable implications for structural-equation regressi...
متن کاملA High-Performance Hardware Accelerator for HEVC Motion Compensation
The presented master’s thesis has focused on the design and implementation of a motion compensation hardware accelerator for use in HEVC hybrid decoders, i.e. decoders that contain hardware as well as software parts. As the motion compensation is the most time consuming step in the decoding process it is crucial to implement it in a fast and efficient way. This paper elaborates the theoretical ...
متن کاملUltra-Widband Distributed Amplifier Using Loss Compensation Technique on Both Input and Output Circuit
In this paper, we analyze a distributed amplifier based on input/output attenuation compensation. The analysis is carried out for a HEMT transistor; and a constant-k section filter is used to calculate the amplifier’s characteristics such as attenuation factor, phase constant and gain. The proposed design approach enables us to examine the tradeoff among the variables, which include the type an...
متن کاملMonitoring error compensation in general optical coatings.
Error compensation in optical monitoring was demonstrated many years ago for narrow bandpass and edge filters. It is shown here that the compensation effects can apply to a broader range of more general coatings. This is illustrated with a very broadband antireflection coating design of 20 layers and a ramp design of 13 layers. The choice of monitoring wavelength and monitoring strategy are imp...
