This paper analyzes the sparsely investigated differences in the design and structure of the compensation packages, including the often neglected pension arrangements, in four European countries. We propose a simplified valuation approach for stock-based pay, using the publicly available data, to account for company-specific vesting schedules, as the application of the valuation methods typically used in empirical studies overestimates the value of typical performance shares. The findings concerning the design of management pay have implications for future compensation research.
