Effect of derivative gains/losses on CEO compensation
Firms use derivatives for hedging (reducing risk) and non-hedging purposes (possibly risky investments). These activities have a significant impact on the overall earnings of the firm. Should CEO compensation be based on such derivative gains/ losses? Professor Hariom Manchiraju and his co-authors examine whether derivative gains and losses affect the compensation of a CEO.
Towards more efficient HIV screening and treatment policies
A major challenge that healthcare systems often grapple with is how should they design their screening programs when there is limited capacity and resources for treatment. Professor Sarang Deo and his co-authors model this very relevant, practical and at the same time complex problem at the interface of operations management and public health.
