In honor of the Symposium on executive compensation, here's what writing about the subject can get you on SSRN.  Many a download.  I'm not sure that all of the below articles are about the subject totally centrally - Vic certainly is aware of compensation, but his executives are hedge fund principals, for example.  But they put the term in their abstract.  And we always cite alumni when possible.
