The legal dispute over Tesla CEO Elon Musk's compensation package has brought the discussion about the appropriateness of executive compensation back into the international spotlight. The article by Maximilian Merwald and Alexandra Jahn analyzes the different approaches to regulating executive compensation in Germany and the US. It shows how both legal systems attempt to ensure performance-based and controllable executive compensation, but take different approaches in doing so. Dr. Merwald is an academic advisor and Ms. Jahn is a student assistant at Professor Möllers' chair.
