Contributor(s): Dr Carsten Gerner-Beuerle and Dr Tom Kirchmaier | The authors discuss the British regulation of executive remuneration, which is characterised by the unique feature of two votes, one forward looking on the company’s remuneration report, and one backward looking on the director’s annual remuneration package. Using the pay information disclosed by FTSE 100 companies, research shows that shareholders guide their vote by top line salary and appear to disregard the remaining substantial body of information provided to them. Shareholders differentiate between the two voting dimensions in about 23% of the cases. In contrast to the rationale of the legislation that introduced the two votes, however, differentiating voting behaviour is not driven by characteristics of the executive’s remuneration policy, but mainly by exceptionally positive future performance expectations.

Contributor(s): Dr Carsten Gerner-Beuerle, Dr Tom Kirchmaier | By most standards, Britain in the mid-19th century was not only the preeminent industrial power in the world, but also possessed more developed capital markets than any other country. The probably most widely accepted explanation attributes this gap in financial development to more stringent disclosure requirements and more effective enforcement mechanisms in Britain. The explanatory models, however, are commonly not based on a detailed comparative legal analysis of the regulatory environment, but consider only isolated major reforms. The discussed research constructs a comprehensive time series of the evolving disclosure framework and private enforcement mechanisms during the formative stage of capital markets in Britain and one large emerging economy of continental Europe, Germany.
