Abstract
In this, based on prior literature, I hypothesize a link between equity-linked compensation and risk of the REIT firms. This dissertation adds to the literature as unlike previous studies, the direct link between executive equity-linked compensation and risk for REITS is examined. I examine the proposed relation for 100 firms with SPINDEX 4040 and 20 S&P500 real estate firms. Contrary to previous studies, I did not find a strong link between risk variables and executive equity-linked compensation.
