| Tiivistelmä: | This paper deals with the incentive effects of granting levered or unlevered stock to a risk-averse manager (hereafter as: mgr). The stock is granted by risk-neutral shareholders (here as: s-hs.) who choose leverage and compensation (here as: comp.) level. The mgr. applies costly effort and selects the level of volatility (here as: vol.), both of which affect expected return (here as: exp-ret). The results are driven by the attempt of the risk-neutral s-hs. to maximize the value of their claims net of the comp. package. A dynamic setting is considered and it is found that levered stock is optimal for high-type mgrs., firms with high momentum, large firms, and firms for which additional vol. only implies a modest increase in exp-ret. |
