Abstract

This fourth edition is completely updated throughout. It now includes excerpts from important recent cases such as "Air Products v. Airgas" and "In re CNX Gas" and provides commentary on current developments, such as "Say on Pay," proxy access and the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010. A new chapter on executive compensation appears. The fourth edition provides additional contextual background for certain cases to help students better understand the court’s reasoning. The text continues to provide additional questions, connections to the empirical literature, and cross-country comparisons.
