The Degradation of Distorted Performance Measures
Sloof, Randolph; van Praag, Mirjam - 2008
Baker (2002) has demonstrated theoretically that the quality of performance measures used in compensation contracts hinges on two characteristics: noise and distortion. These criteria, though, will only be useful in practice as long as the noise and distortion of a performance measure can be...
