A compensation scheme for optimal investment decisions ¬リニ

چکیده
We derive an optimal compensation scheme that aims to eliminate inadequate misaligned managerial actions ensuring optimal investment decisions. With this model, the owners of the option to invest do not need to follow the future evolution of project value drivers in order to guarantee optimal behavior. The optimal contract scheme is a correct balance between effort costs, fixed wages, and a value-sharing bonus. As shown, even small deviations from the optimal compensation scheme may lead to highly sub-optimal decisions. The model is extended to accommodate impatience behavior by the managers or the shareholders. 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Duopolistic Investment Opportunities under Agency Risk: Designing Contracts for Optimal Investment Decisions
Real options theory frequently assumes that investment decisions are directly taken by the owners or that, if there is a manager, he is fully aligned with them. However, empirical literature demonstrates that managers may reveal misaligned interests, which may deteriorate the value of the firm, consequently having a major impact on value maximizing decisions, namely, on the optimal timing to in...

متن کاملUncertainty , Investment , and Managerial Incentives ∗
This study provides evidence that managerial incentives, shaped by compensation contracts, help to explain the empirical relationship between uncertainty and investment. We develop a model in which the manager, induced by an incentive contract, makes investment decisions for a firm that faces time-varying volatility. In the model, a manager’s privately optimal investment response to a volatilit...
متن کاملJoint pricing, inventory, and preservation decisions for deteriorating items with stochastic demand and promotional efforts
This study models a joint pricing, inventory, and preservation decision-making problem for deteriorating items subject to stochastic demand and promotional effort. The generalized price-dependent stochastic demand, time proportional deterioration, and partial backlogging rates are used to model the inventory system. The objective is to find the optimal pricing, replenishment, and preservation t...
