Abstract

This paper discusses the design and analyzes the potential benefits and costs of executive pay package policy within the US 2009 Emergency Economic Stabilization Act (EESA), commonly known "Bailout". It shows that the ultimate effect of the EESA on executive compensation is generally difficult to predict. Moreover, this paper differentiates between executive pay packages pre and post EESA policies.
