However, regarding performance improvement following CEO paycuts, CEOs are likely to engage in earnings management. This study examines whether investor perceptions of the earnings quality consequences of CEO paycuts change or not. We identify firms with CEO paycuts as the treatment group during the period 1994–2014. We then create a propensity-score-matched control group of firms that did not cut their CEOs’ pay and employ a difference-in-differences approach to examine the consequences. Empirical results show that the earnings response coefficient (ERC) declines following CEO paycuts. Investors doubt earnings surprise about firms with CEO paycuts. Further, we find that investor concerns about CEO paycuts only occur in firms with weak external supervision. Therefore, in firms with weak external supervision, CEO paycuts may result in the loss of firm value. Ting-Kai Chou 周庭楷 2018 學位論文 ; thesis 21 zh-TW |
