CEO Executive Compensation Project
This research paper will take a look at three think tanks strategies and work with all three to
make a recommendation to the US Senate Finance Committee (Class Professors). I will be taking
making a recommendation to increase taxes for Executives, so the government see a revenue
stream from that. I will also be making the recommendation that Executives must produce
positive numbers for their corporation or they will be penalized. As wells as an increase in wage
for lower level workers to boost morale and create a sense of belonging with the company. I
would like to find a recommendation that the US government, the economy (stock market), the
shareholders, the employees, and the corporation all have positive out comes in the long run and
help straighten the US economy.

This article shares the values that the Aspin Institute strives to promote. The Aspin
Institute wants Executives to maintain longevity with the companies they are hired by. By
promoting longevity, the companies will see less turn over, and the company will have a
more stable foundation from the perception of all its employees. The Aspen Institute also
wants executive compensation to be based on long-term production.
