Part 1. Executive Summary

This should be a concise summary of the study. DO NOT copy or simply rephrase the abstract. Use your own words. This should be no more than a few sentences. A short paragraph (or two) that captures the key ideas and results of the study is the goal.

Try to provide a little graphic of the causal model of the study, with a short verbal description of the model.

The dependent variable is corporate returns and size of firm.

The dependent variable is CEO compensation. The controlled variables are the external monitors which are security analyst, independent outside board members and activist institutional investors. The independent can only influence the dependent variable when the external monitors influence the independent. The independent variables are then divided into two monitors who are vigilant and lax. Corporate returns are the vigilant monitors and the sizes of the firm are the lax monitors.
