How (Not) to Pay Non-executive Directors
نویسنده
چکیده
Performance pay, at least as usually understand, is no good idea for non-executive directors. They have to supervise and control or in some situations even to fire and replace the executive managers. This means that their performance as supervisors is totally different from the performance of the supervised executive managers and even the company at large. Moreover, they are mostly interested in other things than their pay. Thus, their pay should be fixed and not too high. JEL-Codes: M12, M21, M52, G34, D23, D82, K22

We derive conditions under which state-imposed limits on executive compensation can enhance efficiency and benefit shareholders (but not executives).
