Executive compensation has risen dramatically beyond the rising levels of an average worker's wage over the years. This has been a hot topic for discussion, especially with the crisis in the financial sector and the controversy over the federal bailout. The government is even considering a cap on highflying salaries for executives (New York Times, February 9, 2009). Consider the following data, which link total compensation of the 455 highest-paid CEOs in 2006 with two performance measures (industry-adjusted return on assets (Adj ROA) and industry-adjusted stock return (Adj Stock Return)) and the firm's size (Total Assets). The complete data, labeled Executive Compensation, are available on the text website.
