CEO to staff pay ratios: Will more knowledge make any difference?

摘要

It has been suggested that publishing the ratio between CEO pay and the average pay in an organisation will restrict excessive levels and movements in CEO pay, as comparisons across the economy can easily be made. Some suggest it will also shame and embarrass the CEOs concerned. This idea has generated a lot of discussion since the 2010 US Dodd-Frank financial reforms made such disclosures a legal requirement (2017 or 2018 may actually see implementation of the legislation). Many other countries have also looked at introducing similar requirements.
