| Tiivistelmä: | Since 1995, more than 50 percent of the firms in the FTSE-100 have granted rewards to their senior executives, the payoffs of which are contingent on the firm's stock return relative to a bench mark return over a given period (hereafter, relative performance incentives). This paper investigates and derives closed-form solutions for a class of relative performance incentives that have a positive payoff if, in addition to the traditional contingencies, the firm's stock return is higher than the market return times a threshold. Results suggest that UK firms, in practice, when relative performance incentives (RPI's) substitute absolute performance incentives (API's) tend to (1) decrease the cost of their compensation packages; (2) undertake more risky capital-investment projects; and (3) avoid providing so high-powered incentives to increase shareholder wealth. |
