''Executive compensation based on asset values'' |

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. |
