Book Description
This paper presents a rational expectations model of optimal executive compensation in a setting where managers are in a position to manipulate short-term stock prices, and managers' propensity to manipulate is uncertain. Stock-based incentives elicit not only productive effort, but also costly information manipulation. We analyze the tradeoffs involved in conditioning pay on long- versus short-term performance and characterize a second-best optimal compensation scheme. The paper shows manipulation, and investors' uncertainty about it, affects the equilibrium pay contract and the informational efficiency of asset prices. The paper derives a range of new cross-sectional comparative static results and sheds light on corporate governance regulations.

Book Description
We present a rational expectations model of optimal executive compensation in a setting where managers are in a position to manipulate short-term stock prices and the manipulation propensity is uncertain. We analyze the tradeoffs involved in conditioning pay on long- versus short-term performance and show how manipulation, and investorsņuncertainty about it, affects the equilibrium pay contract and the informativeness of prices. Firm and manager characteristics determine the optimal compensation scheme: the strength of incentives, the pay horizon, and the use of options. We consider how corporate governance and disclosure regulations can help create an environment that enables better contracting.

Book Description
This paper studies the role of optimal managerial compensation in reducing uncertainty about manager reporting objectives. It is shown that, paradoxically, firm owners allow managers with higher propensity to manipulate the short-term stock price to push for higher-powered and more short-term focused equity incentives. Such managers also work harder, and manipulate more, but may not generate higher firm profits. The model is consistent with existing empirical findings about the relationship between manipulation and equity pay, suggesting that heterogeneity in manager manipulation propensities may be an important driver of heterogeneity in pay. Novel testable predictions are developed.

Book Description
A manager who wants to be viewed favorably has an incentive to advance or delay the arrival of information about his firm's profitability. In the model, a high ability manager tries to advance resolution of a likely-favorable outcome, while a low ability manager may defer resolution. Such manipulation of information arrival causes greater investment in execution projects (which tend to resolve early) than exploratory projects (which tend to resolve late), and affects investment in hastening or retarding project resolution. In contrast with previous literature, in some cases managers may secretly overinvest. The model offers empirical implications about innovative versus conventional investments, associated stock price reactions, and corporate control. The theory also implies a perverse sorting of high ability managers to conventional activities and low ability managers to visionary enterprises.

Book Description
This paper studies the first day return of 227 carve-outs during 1996-2013. I find that the first day return of newly issued subsidiary stocks is explained by the reporting distortions in the pre IPO period, conditioned on whether the executives and directors of the subsidiary received stock options with an exercise price equal to the IPO offer price. In absence of IPO options, accruals in the year before the issue are negative predictors in the cross-sectional variation of the first day returns. In presence of IPO options this relationship is reversed and becomes positive: this is especially pronounced in cases where non-employee directors received such compensation packages. The predictive power of the accruals on future returns and its direction differ depending on the executive compensation packages, suggesting that management intentionally manipulate earnings.

Book Description
Equity-based compensation, while inducing greater managerial effort, also provides incentives for managers to fraudulently inflate a firm's stock price. This paper examines the owners' optimal contract in the face of these conflicting incentives when it is sometimes possible for the manager to commit fraud and the public disclosure of fraud harms the underlying value of the firm. The analysis shows that an increase in the likelihood of fraud can actually increase the attractiveness of equity compensation and the value of the firm. Ironically, while monitoring decreases the likelihood of fraud, it may indirectly increase the severity of fraud when fraud occurs.
