| Tiivistelmä: | Black-Scholes (1973) (here as: B-S.) values are often argued to overstate the subjective value of stock options (henceforth as: s-opts.) granted to risk-averse and under-diversified executives. This study builds up a "representative" Swiss executive, extending the certainty-equivalence approach presented by Hall and Murphy (2002) to assess the value-cost wedge of executive s-opts. Even with low coefficients of relative risk aversion, the discount can be above 50 percent compared to the B-S. values. Regression analysis reveals that the equilibrium level of executive compensation is explained by economic determinant variables such as firm size and growth opportunities, whereas the pay-for-performance sensitivity remains largely unexplained. Firms with larger boards of directors pay higher wages, indicating potentially unresolved agency conflicts etc. |
