Executive stock option compensation: the corporate reporting decision

Article Abstract:

The SEC has required firms that grant employee stock options to senior executives to include information about these grants in proxy statement reports to fulfill the requirements on senior executive compensation reporting. Despite this laws, however, majority of the firms have chosen a reporting format that provide little information to investors. It appears that the approach protects them disclosing information on executives that receive above-average stock option compensation.

Executive stock ownership and performance: tracking faint traces

Article Abstract:

Companies engaged in acquisitions tend to have acquisition performance and Tobin's Q ratios that exert influence over stockholdings of managers. Analysis also shows that the amount of stockholdings does not affect the productivity of a company. The amount of managers' stockholdings in their companies does not necessarily act as an incentive to initiate measures to lift share prices when calculated from a simultaneous equations platform.

Executive compensation and the performance of the firm

Article Abstract:

The economic interests of executives and shareholders may be differentiated by the issue of agency costs. Specifically, these interests are executive salaries and the firm's over-all financial condition. The total compensation of executives from 49 corporations in the Fortune 500 list for the period 1964 to 1973 was studied. It was determined that executive pay was positively correlated with increases in stock value and profitability.
