Optimal Executive Compensation when Firm Size Follows Geometric Brownian Motion
This paper studies a continuous-time agency model in which the agent controls the drift of the geometric Brownian motion firm size. The changing firm size generates partial incentives, analogous to awarding the agent equity shares according to her continuation payoff. When the agent is as patient as investors, performance-based stock grants implement the optimal contract. Our model generates a ...
متن کاملexecutive compensation and firm performance: shareholders perspective
this study addresses executive compensation from shareholders perspective by empirically examining the effects of chief executive officer (ceo) compensation on firm performance subsequent to the year of compensation. three factors of ceo compensation are examined, size, total annual compensation; form percentage of total compensation comprised of cash, cash bonuses and stock; and sensitivity. t...
متن کاملExecutive Compensation and Firm Leverage
This work explores the role of executive compensation in determining the capital structure decisions of a firm. CEOs experience a large personal cost of default that interacts through the risk adjusted probability of default with their compensation contract. Since default happens in a particularly costly state of the world for a CEO whose compensation contract consists primarily of pay for perf...
متن کامل1 Geometric Brownian motion
where X(t) = σB(t) + μt is BM with drift and S(0) = S0 > 0 is the intial value. We view S(t) as the price per share at time t of a risky asset such as stock. Taking logarithms yields back the BM; X(t) = ln(S(t)/S0) = ln(S(t))− ln(S0). ln(S(t)) = ln(S0) +X(t) is normal with mean μt + ln(S0), and variance σ2t; thus, for each t, S(t) has a lognormal distribution. As we will see in Section 1.4: let...
متن کاملSimulating Brownian motion ( BM ) and geometric Brownian
2) and 3) together can be summarized by: If t0 = 0 < t1 < t2 < · · · < tk, then the increment rvs B(ti) − B(ti−1), i ∈ {1, . . . k}, are independent with B(ti) − B(ti−1) ∼ N(0, ti − ti−1) (normal with mean 0 and variance ti − ti−1). In particular, B(ti) − B(ti−1) is independent of B(ti−1) = B(ti−1)−B(0). If we only wish to simulate B(t) at one fixed value t, then we need only generate a unit no...
