Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 會計學系 === 107 === The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of the XBRL mandate on pay-performance sensitivity. I posit that XBRL improves external monitoring and in turn strengthens the link between pay and performance. Irrespective of market-based or accounting-based performance measures, the empirical results reveal that pay-performance sensitivity increases after XBRL adoption. Moreover, I find that firm is likely to give more equity-based compensation after XBRL mandate. I also provide evidence that XBRL reporting improves the monitoring environment to a greater extent for small firms. In dynamic analysis, the result provide evidence to support the causal inferences about the relationship between XBRL implement and compensation contract design.
