In this collection of essays, corporate governance scholars address four primary issues: the history and theory of executive compensation, the structure of executive pay, corporate governance and executive compensation, and international perspectives on executive pay. The authors examine the two most prominent theoretical methods for determining executive pay, the managerial power theory and the optimal contracting theory, and their effect on compensation and related issues. They also address government regulation of pay and international pay practices in Australia, China, Europe, India, Japan, and the United States.
