The paper only mentions total compensation as: "total compensation (base wages plus bonuses)"

Total compensation includes stock options, stock grants, health insurance premiums, 401k contributions, so-called "employer social security contributions", retirement contributions, time off with pay, etc. Total compensation averages 146% of wages.

This is not a triviality.

The paper doesn't cover this, and so the conclusions don't have merit.
