Why CEO Compensation Is So High
指出美国CEO薪酬失控，源于信息不对称的卖方（CEO）与买方（股东和薪酬委员会）博弈，揭露了薪酬决定中的欺骗、合理化理由及责任方。
Executive compensation in the United States has gotten out of control. There is no longer a level-playing field when a very well informed seller (the CEO) is combined with uninformed buyers (the shareholders and the compensation committee of the board). In an excerpt from his new book, In Search of Excess: The Overcompensation of American Executives, the author describes the upward spiral of executive compensation, the deceptions involved in determining and reporting compensation packages, and the rationalizations used to justify them. He provides a list of the culprits responsible for creating the problem and allowing it to continue—a list that includes compensation consultants, board compensation committees, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
