    Question 1
    The High Pay Centre reported that the median FTSE100 chief executive officer took
    home £2.69 million in 2020. This was the lowest median pay since 2009 and a
    reduction of 17% from the median CEO pay in 2019 of £3.25 million.
    Required
    Drawing from academic theory, critically appraise the theories and factors that have
    driven the growth in executive compensation in the banking and financial sector since
    the 1990s. Does the reduction in compensation represent the end of rent extraction?
    [total 50 marks]

    Question 2
    “Much research has focused on how executive compensation schemes can help
    alleviate the agency problem in publicly traded companies. To understand adequately
    the landscape of executive compensation, however, one must recognize that the
    design of compensation arrangements is also partly a product of this same agency
    problem”. (Bebchuk and Fried, 2003).
    Required
    Describe how executive compensation contracts should be constructed to mitigate
    conflicts between principals and agents. In your discussion, explain how information
    asymmetries can lead to adverse selection, moral hazard and hidden actions.
    [total 50 marks]

    Question 3.
    There were seven female FTSE100 CEOs in 2020, the same number as in 2019.
    Required
    Identify the factors that influence gender pay differentials and constitute barriers to
    females from progression to the highest hierarchical positions in an organization.
    Critically evaluate whether the presence of (more) females in senior executive roles
    improves corporate firm performance and/or risk taking.
    [total 50 marks]

    Question 4.
    Crawford, Ezzell and Miles (1995) examine the association between banking
    deregulation and the pay-performance sensitivity of bank CEO compensation packages.
    Required
    With specific reference to agency theory and managerial power, critically evaluate
    how banks integrate the financial reward and business strategies using pay-forperformance mechanisms.
    [total 50 marks]

    Question 5.
    Donald Trump described CEO pay as “a total and complete joke” and “disgraceful”.
    Required
    Critically evaluate the extent to which executive compensation might be a motivator
    in tournament contests.

    • Consider a deterministic small open economy populated by a large number of identical individuals receiving an endowment of income in every period. The preferences of the representative individual are described by the intertemporal utility function U0 = X 2 t=0 t u (ct) with = 1 1+ . In every period the individual faces the budget constraint ct+(1 + rt) dt1 = yt+dt. The initial debt holding is given by d 1 = 0. The foreign sector lends/borrows at the interest rate r = . All variables and parameters have standard interpretation. The endowment income grows over time and is given by: yt =  t y, where y > 0,  > 1 and t = 0; 1; 2. 1. Derive the intertemporal equilibrium allocation of the macroeconomic aggregates (consumption, assets, trade balance and current account) and give an economic interpretation to your results.
