Professor Yermack will discuss recent efforts by the Obama administration to limit and regulate executive compensation in the U.S. In the current financial crisis, the pay of bankers and top executives has become a major public issue.
Professor Yermackâs presentation will evaluate the recent criticisms of executive pay and provide an historical discussion of previous regulatory efforts in the U.S. and elsewhere.
He will address questions such as:
Does the government have an appropriate role to play in this area?
Has compensation in recent years departed from past patterns?
How do attempts to limit executive pay interact with other current efforts to restructure the world financial system?
