Goldilocks in the corner office
Wirtz, Ronald A. (2006-12)
The proper level of CEO compensation is more complicated than some normative sense of what the public considers fair. But with CEO pay regularly reaching eight, even nine figures, could current levels possibly be efficient? Economists can make a good theoretical case that CEO pay is inefficient, but they've had trouble pinpointing the systematic rent (pay in excess of fair market value) being extracted by CEOs. While it might not lower CEO pay, better corporate governance is likely the key to ensuring that it is tied tightly to firm performance.

In the US, income and expenditure-side estimates of GDP (GDPI and GDPE) measure "true" GDP with error and are available at a quarterly frequency. Methods exist for using these proxies to produce reconciled quarterly estimates of true GDP. In this paper, we extend these methods to provide reconciled historical true GDP estimates at a monthly frequency. We do this using a Bayesian mixed frequency vector autoregression (MF-VAR) involving GDPE, GDPI, unobserved true GDP, and monthly indicators of short-term economic activity. Our MF-VAR imposes restrictions that reflect a measurement-error ...

A conversation with 590 nascent entrepreneurs
De Nardi, Mariacristina; Campbell, Jeffrey R. (2007)
This paper summarizes interviews from 1998 with 590 individuals trying to create a business centered around five questions: ?Who are you??, ?What are you trying to accomplish??, ?What have you and others put into the business??, ?What have you accomplished??, ?What remains to be done??
