[IWS] CRS: EXCESSIVE CEO PAY: Background & Policy Approaches [13 February 2007]]
by Eugene McElroy 23 Feb '07

23 Feb '07

Congressional Research Service (CRS) Order Code RS22604 February 13, 2007 Excessive CEO Pay: Background and Policy Approaches [13 February 2007] Gary Shorter and Mark Jickling, Government and Finance Division Alison A. Raab, Knowledge Services Group http://www.opencrs.com/rpts/RS22604_20070213.pdf [full-text, 6 pages] Summary During the past several decades, average pay for non-management workers has stagnated, after adjustment for inflation, falling slightly since the early 1970s. In contrast, compensation of top corporate executives has risen dramatically. Supporters of current CEO pay levels argue that executive compensation is determined by normal private market bargaining, that rising pay reflects competition for a limited number of qualified candidates, and that even the richest pay packages are a bargain compared with the billions in shareholder wealth that successful CEOs create. Others, however, cite instances in which executive pay appears to be excessive. Some see a social equity problem in which CEO pay is seen to embody a troublesome rise in income and wealth inequality. Others see excessive pay as a form of shareholder abuse made possible by weak corporate governance structures and a lack of clear, comprehensive disclosure of the various components of executive compensation. This report describes the major legislative and regulatory proposals that have sought to remedy these perceived problems. It will be updated as events warrant. **************************************** Stuart Basefsky Director, IWS News Bureau Institute for Workplace Studies Cornell/ILR School 16 E. 34th Street, 4th Floor New York, NY 10016 Telephone: (607) 255-2703 Fax: (607) 255-9641 E-mail: smb6(a)cornell.edu **************************************** -- Eugene McElroy Rutgers University School of Management and Labor Relations Library 50 Labor Center Way New Brunswick, New Jersey 08901 tel: 732-932-9513 ******** Desconfiem e se afastem dos individuos que adulam os poderosos e pisoteiam os desprotegidos.
