This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this study is to examine the effect of the attributes of the board of directors on the compensation of the CEO of thirty European commercial banks. This research uses a technique of static panel data over the period 2004-2009. The study was conducted on a sample of thirty banks in four European countries. The results of our study suggest that the relationship between the size of the Board and the CEO's compensation is positive and statistically significant. Similarly, our results show that the presence of a proportion of independent directors in the Board improves the compensation of the CEO. They also indicate that improving the compensation of the CEO is also due to his power in the Board since he is its chairman. This study shows that the Board of directors acts as the primary mechanism of internal control designed to align the shareholders and managers' conflicting interests. However, the Board has an important role in defining the executives' compensation; therefore, its power depends on the members that compose it. This study also indicates that the independence quality of the board's members affects the compensation policy to improve the CEO's compensation depending on the banking performance. Moreover, this study suggests that the banking performance is related to the CEO's compensation through the attributes of the board. It therefore gives an overview of the impact of a complementary relationship between the board mechanism and that of the CEO's compensation. This study provides an overview on the complementary between the mechanism of the board and the CEO's compensation.
Book Synopsis Executive Compensation and Business Policy Choices at U. S. Commercial Banks by : Robert DeYoung
Download or read book Executive Compensation and Business Policy Choices at U. S. Commercial Banks written by Robert DeYoung and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2010-08 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines whether and how the terms of CEO compensation contracts at large commercial banks between 1994 and 2006 influenced, or were influenced by, the risky business policy decisions made by these firms. The authors find strong evidence that bank CEOs responded to contractual risk-taking incentives by taking more risk; bank boards altered CEO compensation to encourage executives to exploit new growth opportunities; and bank boards set CEO incentives in a manner designed to moderate excessive risk-taking. These relationships are strongest during the second half of the author¿s sample, after deregulation and technological change had expanded banks' capacities for risk-taking. Charts and tables.
Book Synopsis Executive Compensation and Shareholder Value by : Jennifer Carpenter
Download or read book Executive Compensation and Shareholder Value written by Jennifer Carpenter and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Executive compensation has gained widespread public attention in recent years, with the pay of top U.S. executives reaching unprecedented levels compared either with past levels, with the remuneration of top executives in other countries, or with the wages and salaries of typical employees. The extraordinary levels of executive compensation have been achieved at a time when U.S. public companies have realized substantial gains in stock market value. Many have cited this as evidence that U.S. executive compensation works well, rewarding managers who make difficult decisions that lead to higher shareholder values, while others have argued that the overly generous salaries and benefits bear little relation to company performance. Recent conceptual and empirical research permits for the first time a truly rigorous debate on these and related issues, which is the subject of this volume.
Book Synopsis Research Handbook on Executive Pay by : John S. Beasley
Download or read book Research Handbook on Executive Pay written by John S. Beasley and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on executive compensation has exploded in recent years, and this volume of specially commissioned essays brings the reader up-to-date on all of the latest developments in the field. Leading corporate governance scholars from a range of countries set out their views on four main areas of executive compensation: the history and theory of executive compensation, the structure of executive pay, corporate governance and executive compensation, and international perspectives on executive pay. The authors analyze the two dominant theoretical approaches – managerial power theory and optimal contracting theory – and examine their impact on executive pay levels and the practices of concentrated and dispersed share ownership in corporations. The effectiveness of government regulation of executive pay and international executive pay practices in Australia, the US, Europe, China, India and Japan are also discussed. A timely study of a controversial topic, the Handbook will be an essential resource for students, scholars and practitioners of law, finance, business and accounting.
Book Synopsis An Introduction to Executive Compensation by : Steven Balsam
Download or read book An Introduction to Executive Compensation written by Steven Balsam and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: General readers have no idea why people should care about what executives are paid and why they are paid the way they are. That's the reason that The Wall Street Journal, Fortune, Forbes, and other popular and practitioner publications have regular coverage on them. This book not only proposes a reason - executives need incentives in order to maximize firm value (economists call this agency theory) - it also describes the nature and design of executive compensation practices. Those incentives can take the form of benefits (salary, stock options), or prerquisites (reflecting the status of the executive within the organizational culture.
Book Synopsis Pay Without Performance by : Lucian A. Bebchuk
Download or read book Pay Without Performance written by Lucian A. Bebchuk and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The company is under-performing, its share price is trailing, and the CEO gets...a multi-million-dollar raise. This story is familiar, for good reason: as this book clearly demonstrates, structural flaws in corporate governance have produced widespread distortions in executive pay. Pay without Performance presents a disconcerting portrait of managers' influence over their own pay--and of a governance system that must fundamentally change if firms are to be managed in the interest of shareholders. Lucian Bebchuk and Jesse Fried demonstrate that corporate boards have persistently failed to negotiate at arm's length with the executives they are meant to oversee. They give a richly detailed account of how pay practices--from option plans to retirement benefits--have decoupled compensation from performance and have camouflaged both the amount and performance-insensitivity of pay. Executives' unwonted influence over their compensation has hurt shareholders by increasing pay levels and, even more importantly, by leading to practices that dilute and distort managers' incentives. This book identifies basic problems with our current reliance on boards as guardians of shareholder interests. And the solution, the authors argue, is not merely to make these boards more independent of executives as recent reforms attempt to do. Rather, boards should also be made more dependent on shareholders by eliminating the arrangements that entrench directors and insulate them from their shareholders. A powerful critique of executive compensation and corporate governance, Pay without Performance points the way to restoring corporate integrity and improving corporate performance.

Book Synopsis Incentive Compensation for Bank Directors by : David Becher
Download or read book Incentive Compensation for Bank Directors written by David Becher and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although industry deregulation leads to changes in the scale and scope of the duties of the board of directors, little is known about the changes in incentives for directors surrounding such events. The deregulation of the U.S. banking industry and associated technological and regulatory changes during the 1990s lends itself to a natural experiment. These industry shocks forced bank boards of directors to face expanded opportunity sets, increased competition, and a rapidly expanding market for corporate control. While bank directors receive significantly less equity-based compensation throughout most of our sample period, by the end of the decade their use of equity-based compensation is indistinguishable from a matched sample of industrial firms. Moreover, banks utilizing a high degree equity-based compensation for directors are associated with higher performance and higher growth without a similar increase in risk. The increase in the use of equity-based compensation for bank directors is not due to a fundamental shift in bank boards, as board size and independence have remained static. Overall, our results suggest that firms respond to deregulation by improving internal monitoring through aligning directors' incentives with those of shareholders.
Book Synopsis Executive Pay and Performance by : R. Glenn Hubbard
Download or read book Executive Pay and Performance written by R. Glenn Hubbard and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines an effect of deregulating the market for corporate control on CEO compensation in the banking industry. Given that each state's banking regulation defines the competitiveness of its corporate control market, we examine the effect of a state's interstate banking regulation on the level and structure of bank CEO compensation. Using panel data on 147 banks over the decade of the 1980s, we find evidence supporting the hypothesis that competitive corporate control markets (i.e., where interstate banking is permitted) require talented managers whose levels of compensation are higher. We also find that the compensation-performance relationship is stronger than for managers in markets where interstate banking is not permitted. Further, CEO turnover increases substantially after deregulation, as does the proportion in performance-related compensation. These results suggest strong evidence of a managerial talent market -- that is, one which matches the level and structure of compensation with the competitiveness of the banking environment.
Book Synopsis Executive Compensation and Business Policy Choices at U.S. Commercial Banks* by : Robert DeYoung
Download or read book Executive Compensation and Business Policy Choices at U.S. Commercial Banks* written by Robert DeYoung and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines whether and how the terms of CEO compensation contracts at large, publicly traded commercial banks between 1994 and 2006 influenced, and were influenced by, the risk-profiles of these firms. We find evidence linking contractual risk-taking incentives, which we proxy with standard measures of vega and delta, to risk-increasing business policy choices. Moreover, these linkages became stronger after 1999, when financial industry deregulation created new growth opportunities for commercial banks. Our results suggest that compensation committees provided new incentives for bank CEOs to exploit these growth opportunities, and also to shift from traditional on-balance sheet portfolio lending to less traditional investments (e.g., private-issue mortgage-backed securities) and nontraditional fee-generating activities. Apart from these strategic reallocations, our results also suggest that bank boards designed CEO compensation contracts to limit excessive risk taking, especially after deregulation.
Download or read book Bank CEOs written by Claudia Curi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-22 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book thoroughly explores the characteristics and importance of bank CEOs against the backdrop of growing awareness of the social implications of CEO behavior for the performance and stability of the financial and economic system. After an introductory section on the relevance of CEOs in the banking industry, the connections between the bank CEO labor market, contractual incentives, and compensation structures are examined. The focus then turns to empirical findings concerning the impact that bank CEO compensation has on various firm-level outcomes, such as bank performance and strategies. In addition, the relation between CEO turnover and changes in compensation policies since the financial crisis is discussed. A concluding section presents some fresh empirical evidence deriving from an up-to-date database of traits of CEOs operating in the largest European banks. For PhD students and academics, the surveys offer detailed roadmaps on the empirical research landscape and provide suggestions for future work. The writing style ensures that the content will be readily accessible to all industry practitioners.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of board effectiveness on corporate financial performance in the banking industry. The study sought to answer the following research questions; how technical expertise of corporate boards, how director compensation, director ownership and board independence influence financial performance of banks. This study was important to banks, regulators, customers, employees, creditors and academicians. The main benefit of the study was identification of the usefulness of corporate governance regulation through linking of corporate governance practices to financial performance of banks. The study used descriptive and explanatory research designs. A sample of 39 banks from a population of 43 banks was studied. The study used interviews and financial statements were reviewed to answer the research questions. Board members were interviewed using interview guides while financial statements review was done using a secondary data guide. The study used descriptive statistics and inferential statistics such as linear regression and correlation to answer the research questions. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences was the tool used to analyse the data collected through descriptive and inferential statistics. The analysed data was presented using tables. The findings of the study indicated that technical expertise of most boards was high with 76% of directors being university graduates, 68% of the boards with 4 or more levels of expertise and 68% of directors with more than 15 years experience. There was a significant relationship between expertise and financial performance; experience in years and financial performance. However, there was no significant relationship between education qualifications and financial performance. The results indicated that the average compensation per director was KShs 6,626,830 per annum. In 95% of banks, directors had insignificant shareholding while in 81% of the banks; directors did not hold any shares in their capacity as directors. There was a linear relationship between shareholding held by directors, director compensation and financial performance. The results also show that there was a significant relationship between average compensation per director and financial performance; number of directors with shareholding and financial performance. However, there was no significant relationship between director shareholding and financial performance. The results indicated that all banks had 4 or more non-executive directors and 1 or more executive directors. 73% of banks had 6 or more non-executive directors while 54% of banks had 1 executive director. The mix between the number of executive directors and the number of non-executive directors was 1:4. There was a significant relationship between the number of executive, non-executive directors and financial performance. From the results, the researcher concluded that technical expertise of directors in the banks? boards was high. The findings indicated that board expertise influenced financial performance since there was a significant relationship between board expertise and net profit. There was also a significant relationship between experience in years and net profit. The researcher concluded that director compensation influenced financial performance as there was a significant relationship between average director compensation and net profit. There was also a significant relationship between the number of directors with shareholding and financial performance. The range of director compensation was high while shareholding held by directors was largely insignificant. From the findings, the researcher concluded that board independence influenced financial performance. There was a significant relationship between the number of executive directors and net profit. Also there was a significant relationship between the number of non-executive directors and net profit. The results also indicated a healthy mix between the numbers of executive and non-executive directors was 1:4. Major recommendations for improvement were; banks should focus on increasing the level of expertise and experience of directors through conducting induction and evaluation of duties of the directors regularly. Banks should also consider lowering compensation paid to directors and instead encourage more directors to have insignificant shareholding in the financial institutions. Information asymmetry was identified as a huge challenge for banks and banks should work to reduce the information gap. Recommendations for further research included; assessing the impact of information provided to board members on financial performance and whether board independence and lower director compensation led to better social performance.
Book Synopsis Executive Compensation in the Danish Bank Sector by : Silas Mygind Flytkjaer
Download or read book Executive Compensation in the Danish Bank Sector written by Silas Mygind Flytkjaer and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a long time remuneration of top executives has been a hot topic in the business debate. A lot of people have complained that executives and board members have been too greedy and an absence of morals at the highest executive level has been argued. Especially in the banking sector these concerns have been made as the financial crisis of the late 2000 s highlighted the paradox of various top executives receiving very high bonuses while at the same time their banks were going bankrupt or being saved by government interventions. But what is the whole system behind most executive incentive schemes? Which factors make the banking sector different from other sectors? Which guidelines already exist in the area? Can shareholder and stakeholder interests be balanced? And can we make systemic changes to better, and smarter, align performance with compensation? These are among the questions that this book will answer.

Book Synopsis A Unified Analysis of Executive Pay by : Eli Talmor
Download or read book A Unified Analysis of Executive Pay written by Eli Talmor and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines executive compensation determinants in the U.S. financial services sector. Multiple theories of executive pay are discussed and tested using a relatively homogenous sample. We perform an in-depth look at the corporate governance and ownership structure of the companies selected. The analysis is conducted for the financial sector as a whole and for each of three sub-groups: commercial banks, brokerage and other non-depository institutions, and insurance companies. Variables that proxy for managerial strategic discretion and task complexity are found to best explain CEO compensation. Corporate governance, including board characteristics and external ownership, is the second leading determinant of pay variation, while firm performance and CEO specific characteristics seem to play the least role. We explore the simultaneous relationship between compensation, firm performance, and board strength and find evidence that the board of directors provides a monitoring function and that a strong board appears to be a substitute with incentive compensation for aligning incentives. These findings, when viewed with subsequent firm performance, support an efficient contracting argument.
