Tiivistelmä: | The paper explores the impact of executive compensation (hereafter as: compn.) on private securities (here as: secs.) litigation (as: litgn). It is found that incentive pay in the form of options increases the probability of secs. class action litgn., holding constant a wide range of firm characteristics etc. The results suggest that option-based compn. may have the unintended side effect of giving executives an incentive to focus excessively on the short term share price. |
