The CEO problem has recently received attention as an abstraction of remote estimation in sensor networks. It models a group of sensors who observe independently corrupted versions of a hidden source which a central unit (CEO) is interested in estimating. The agents encode their observations without cooperating with one another and communicate the encoded bits through rate constrained noiseless...

This paper develops a competitive equilibrium model of CEO compensation and industry dynamics. CEOs make product pricing and product improvement decisions subject to shareholders’ compensation choices and idiosyncratic shocks to product quality. The choice of highpowered incentives optimally trades-o¤ the bene…ts from expected product improvements and the associated agency costs. In market equi...

The CEO’s control over information in the boardroom limits the board’s ability to monitor the CEO. We examine how CEOs’ incentives to hide negative information from the board depend on their compensation structure, and how the board can structure CEO compensation optimally to mitigate the problem. The optimal compensation package consists of options and severance pay. Option pay forces the CEO ...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of various doses of essential oils (EO) of thyme (TEO) or cinnamon (CEO) on in vitro rumen degradation of protein of a commercial total mixed ratio (TMR) containing 16.4% crud protein (CP). Treatments were TMR without any of EOs (control); control plus 25 µL of TEO (TEO25); control plus 50 µL of TEO (TEO50); control plus 25 µL of CEO (CEO25) ...

Findings suggest that MNC CEO endorsed global culture values integrating local culture with company values that manifest in mid-level managers’ roles.

Genotoxic and ecotoxic assessments of widely used nanoparticles, cerium dioxide (CeO(2)), silicon dioxide (SiO(2)) and titanium dioxide (TiO(2)), were conducted on two aquatic sentinel species, the freshwater crustacean Daphnia magna and the larva of the aquatic midge Chironomus riparius. CeO(2) may have genotoxic effects on D. magna and C. riparius, given that the DNA strand breaks increased i...

A common view in the literature is that the director labor market provides an ex post settling-up for past decisions by rewarding CEO ability and actions that are consistent with shareholder interests. In this paper we focus on large CEO acquisition decisions to investigate whether the director labor market offers ex post settling-up for value destroying decisions. Prior studies have found that...
