Abstract

A provisional EU agreement has been reached on the principle of capping bonuses in the European banking industry. Sony Kapoor and Philippe Lamberts present a case in favour of such a cap, arguing that the current skewed incentives faced by bankers drive excessive risk-taking, which ultimately has to be paid for by taxpayers.
