For example, in 2015 the SEC received over 285,000 comment letters supporting its proposed rule to require disclosure of CEO-employee pay ratios. Yet, it is unclear how more disclosure would affect pay. For example, Hermalin and Weisbach (2012) show theoretically that greater disclosure increases executive pay because of the additional costs imposed on executives, and Murphy and

Just one problem, half of their staff has already been or will soon be employed by the corporations they portend to regulate.
