This phenomenon is also labeled cost stickiness. Prior studies have predominantly explained cost stickiness with economic factors such as asset intensity and uncertainty of future demand and have largely ignored the impact of managerial incentives on cost behavior. Chen, Lu, and Sougiannis (2012) indicates significant association between the agency problem and cost asymmetry. This study uses a sample of firms listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange over the 2005-2012 period to examine the stickiness of SG&A costs caused by agency problem, and strong corporate governance mitigate SG&A cost stickiness, as hypothesized by Chen , Lu, and Sougiannis (2012). In this study, we find strong evidence that cost asymmetry is positively associated with the agency problem, as measured by CEO horizon, tenure. Moreover, strong corporate governance, like smaller board size, CEO⁄ Chairman separation, higher institutional holding, and lower the deviation between voting and cash flow rights, mitigate SG&A cost stickiness. 吳徐哲 2017 學位論文 ; thesis 60 zh-TW |
