201.經濟學人-Cutting the pie-1

One of the issues at the centre of the debate about inequality is the meteoric rise of executive pay.


The ratio between the pay of American ceos and ordinary workers rose from 20:1 in 1965 to 278:1 in 2018, according to the Economic Policy Institute, a think-tank.


The London Business School (lbs) recently held a conference on what caused the rise, and whether it is justified.


At the conference, Dirk Jenter of the London School of Economics pointed out that the pay of chief executives in America was largely flat between the 1940s and the 1970s.


It then rose spectacularly in the 1980s and 1990s before flattening out. What changed in the 1980s was that executive rewards began to be more focused on company performance and share options.


The performance-related element rose from 16% of executive salaries in the 1970s to 26% in the 1980s and 47% in the 1990s.
