Abstract

This paper studies the optimal managerial compensation when the shareholders may invest in private protection to reinforce their protection. The optimal contract exhibits three tolls: the wage, the level of dividends (which is equivalent to the level of diversion) and the level of private protection. Under asymmetric information, we show that investing in private protection does not necessarily reduce the level of profit diverted. Classification JEL : G34, D82.
