- Tradeoffs Make or Break Careers and Companies
- What percentage of the key decisions you make are clear cut and straightforward? From my experience - as a business entrepreneur and former corporate executive - the number's pretty small. Business decision-making is all about tradeoffs that can make or break a career or a company. by Steve Tobak

- Has The Tradeoff Between Productivity Gains And Job Growth Disappeared?
- Policymakers' efforts to boost trend output growth may be hampered by the presence of a tradeoff between productivity gains and job creation. This paper presents empirical evidence that the negative relationship between productivity growth and employment growth that prevailed in the 1960s and 1970s has disappeared since then. This finding...

- The Highs And Lows Of Revenue Forecasting
- The Fiscal Responsibility Laws FRL being implemented around the world inevitably involve a tradeoff between fiscal discipline and flexibility. Accurate, unbiased revenue forecasts mitigate this tradeoff by helping policymakers facing stricter anti-deficit laws avoid emergency cuts and helping to realistically assess feasibility of expenditure commitments in countries with more flexible...

- Compensation Tradeoffs And Employee Communication
- From the executive summary: 'The term 'total compensation tradeoff" describes the phenomenon of one type of compensation like benefits replacing another like wages.

- Financing Decisions: Who Issues Stock?
- From the executive summary: ‘Financing decisions seem to violate central predictions of the tradeoff and pecking order models. Contradicting the paucity of outside equity decisions predicted by the pecking order, most firms issue or retire equity each year. The tradeoff model's main problem is that more profitable firms have less...
