Abstract

Although, employee stock ownership may result in increased cash flows due to enhanced organisational productivity or improved governance, this benefit is counter-balanced by the increased risk premium due to a higher correlation between the returns to the firm and the returns to human capital in general. The analysis in this paper provides a framework for optimising employee incentives from stock ownership.
