The Economic Psychology of Incentives

New Design Principles for Executive Pay

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book proposes a revised theory of agency, drawing on ideas from behavioural economics and built on more robust assumptions about human behaviour than the standard principal-agent model. The book proposes new design principles for executive pay, but also explains the difficulties in changing current executive pay practices.
