Do Executive Compensation Contracts Maximize Firm Value? Evidence from a Quasi-Natural Experiment
Do executive compensation contracts maximize firm value? Evidence from a quasi-natural experiment Menachem (Meni) Abudy Bar-Ilan University, School of Business Administration, Ramat-Gan, Israel, 5290002 Dan Amiram Columbia University Graduate School of Business, 3022 Broadway, New York, NY 10027 Tel Aviv University, Coller School of Management, Ramat Aviv, Israel, 6997801 Oded Rozenbaum The George Washington University, 2201 G St. NW, Washington, DC 20052 Efrat Shust College of Management Academic Studies, School of Business, Rishon LeZion, Israel, 7549071 Current Draft: May 2017 First Draft: September 2016 For discussion purposes only. Please do not distribute. Please do not cite without the authors permission. Abstract: There is considerable debate on whether executive compensation contracts are a designed to maximize firm value or a result of rent extraction. The endogenous nature of executive pay contracts limits the ability of prior research to answer this question. In this study, we utilize the events surrounding a surprising and quick enactment of a new law that restricts executive pay to a binding upper limit in the insurance, investment and banking industries. This quasi-natural experiment enables clear identification. If compensation contracts are value maximizing, any outside restriction to the contract will diminish its optimality and hence should reduce firm value. In contrast to the predictions of the value maximization view of compensation contracts, we find significantly positive abnormal returns in these industries in multiple short term event windows around the passing of the law. We find that the effect is concentrated only for firms in which the restriction is binding. We find similar results using a regression discontinuity design, when we restrict our sample to firms with executive payouts that are just below and just above the law’s pay limit. -

Three main components of access control are used in most information systems: identification, authentication, and authorization. In this paper we focus on authentication, which is the most problematic component. The three main approaches to user authentication are: knowledge-based, possession-based, and biometric-based. We review and compare the various authentication mechanisms of these approaches and the technology and implementation issues they involve. -

Leslie Broudo-Mitts — Welcome everyone to this extraordinary roundtable we are fortunate to hold. Today’s topic is two-part: One is the transformation that business schools and MBA programs are undergoing, and one the context and the ecosystems within which we, the leaders of these programs, find ourselves.

Carnival Corporation: the Costa Concordia Crisis Case A
Carnival Corporation: The Costa Concordia Crisis Case A “We were stuck. He told us we couldn’t get off. I thought my baby was going to die – I thought we were all going to die. The Captain just went, he just left the boat, left us there. I just cannot believe it.”1 Isabelle Mougin, Passenger "I haven't lost hope yet, anything can still happen, a miracle. He may be injured, he may have lost consciousness, anything may have happened. I still have hope, I always have hope. Hope is the last thing to die.”2 Kevin Rubello, Brother to Missing Costa Concordia Employee On January 13, 2012, MickyArison (“Mr. Arison”) sat on a deck chair on the starboard side of one his company’s many cruise ships and enjoyed the view of the lush, green island of St. Bart’s. It was a beautiful, warm day and the sun was reflecting off the clear, tranquil Caribbean water. Since taking the helm of the cruise company founded in 1972 by his father, Mr. Arison had successfully established Carnival as the largest cruise operator in the world. Through a series of cruise line acquisitions across the globe, Mr. Arison had grown the company from one cruise line to a company comprised of 10 cruise lines, operating a combined total of over 101 ships. While the company’s earnings per share (EPS) was slightly lower in 2011 than in 2010, the company was successfully coping with the global recession. With signs of a global economic recovery appearing, Mr. Arison sat back in his chair and while sipping a cup of tea and assured himself that the turbulent waters of the global recession were in his company’s wake. -

Credits: 3 credit units Language of instruction: English Background The dramatic shift to an innovative and entrepreneurial high-tech orientation that the Israeli economy has undergone in recent decades has not only been acknowledged globally. It has also contributed to the prosperity of associated areas such as agriculture, pharmaceuticals and the ecology. Many factors can be said to have led to Israel's high-tech success, some of which have to do with the hostility of the external environment, the lack of natural resources, and the so-called collective Israeli personality – ingenious, tough and adaptive. Be that as it may, entrepreneurship and innovation have come to be regarded as integral parts of the Israeli economic mindset, and the many successful IPOs and M&As of Israeli start-up companies have turned our small country into a world leader in certain high-tech areas. Indeed, many of today's global players started their operations in the local Israeli economy. -
