How to use

This resource helps students analyze executive compensation and economic inequality dynamics. Students gain competencies in understanding pay ratio calculations, corporate governance issues, and inequality measurement. They learn to evaluate relationships between compensation structures and broader economic outcomes.

The analysis works well in courses on labor economics, corporate governance, or inequality studies. Introduce when covering executive compensation or labor relations. Use for comparative analysis of pay structures and policy debate exercises. Particularly valuable before examining corporate accountability or union negotiation strategies.

Faculty should emphasize empirical evidence linking excessive pay to social outcomes and encourage students to analyze policy solutions for addressing compensation inequality.
