Executive compensation structure, ownership, and firm performance
Article Abstract:
The connection between executive compensation and firm performance was studied by analyzing compensation statistics from 153 manufacturing entities for the period 1979-80. The concept of agency theory was included in the study since ownership structure is an important factor in firm performance. It was concluded that the percentages of executives' compensation based on equity were negatively related to their equity. Firms with more outsider board members were likely to implement compensation based on equity.

Capital budgeting and delegation
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to determine when one would expect owners to delegate the allocation of capital across projects supporting a given amount of capital. A model, wherein delegation is characterized as a way to save on investigation costs, was used. Results indicated that when projects are carried out sequentially, the delegation of allocation across projects can be characterized as allowing management to roll over capital from one period to the next.
