Some of the most puzzling questions the lecture will answer are: Do executives get paid through a ‘market for talent’ just like football stars get paid? Why did executive pay in the US, and in many countries including Germany, increase so rapidly in the past two decades? Do executives get paid through a ‘market for talent’ just like football stars get paid? Why did executive pay in the US, and in many countries including Germany, increase so rapidly in the past two decades? If the argument is that executives are compensated for the risk they bear, did they take on too much risk prior to the financial crisis? Do the ones least able and responsible have to bear the greatest burden? Is this fair? What should be done and what is being done? Should we tax salaries higher? Put limits on them? Improve governance? Let the market decide?
