Abstract

Due to actions taken to moderate the level of management remuneration and its structure, the present article deals with the effectiveness of such governmental regulations. The ways of regulations differ around the world, but this article focuses on three particular measurements: the so-called Say on Pay, the tax deductibility of compensation, and the limitation of remuneration components. The aim of this article is to analyse existing empirical studies which deal with the three stated actions' effectiveness.
