Clawbacks in economic development

In finance economics, a clawback is when an organization (typically a financial firm) that is attempting to recover from a catastrophic shift and/or collapse (e.g., the current worldwide financial crisis) attempts to essentially "tame" its past practices by giving its most highly-paid employees bonuses in pay that are deferred rather than bonuses that are able to be spent by an individual immediately.
