Executive compensation based on asset values

På svenska

Author

Summary, in English

This paper describes how credit default swaps could be employed to create performance based

executive compensation portfolios that reflect the value of a firm’s debt as well as equity; i.e. the

total value of all a firm’s assets. We define so-called Asset Value Unit (AVU) compensation

portfolios that work both for executive- and non-executive pay schemes in financial as well as

non-financial firms.
