Download or read book The Use of After Tax or Before Tax Income as a Measure of Performance for Compensation Plans written by Gregory A. Carnes and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper combines the contracting incentives and tax incentives streams of literature to test plausible reasons why firms select different accounting measures of performance when determining executive compensation. The two measures of performance examined are financial income after income taxes and financial income before income taxes. Financial information was obtained for 266 firms, 80 with after-tax compensation plans and 186 with before-tax compensation plans. Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the combined impact of number of segments, the degree to which firms are multinational, management stock ownership, and firm size on compensation plan type. The results suggest that larger firms that report a larger number of operating segments and those firms that have management stock ownership levels in a range where management is entrenched are more likely to select after-tax rather than before-tax compensation plans.
