Abstract:

I propose that CEO employment history is an observable characteristic that reveals the CEO’s unobservable risk-taking preferences. I hypothesize that CEOs that change employers more frequently (mobile CEOs) have a propensity to bear risk and implement riskier firm policies. Using a sample of S&P 1500 CEOs, I find that firms are more likely to hire mobile CEOs when the firm’s prior risk is high, firm-specific human capital is less important, the prior CEO turnover is forced, the prior CEO has a shorter tenure and the board is smaller and has fewer insiders. Mobile CEOs increase financial levera

Abstract:

This thesis analyzes CEO compensation contracts in a principal-agent framework with moral hazard. It focuses on two issues: the form and the timing of performance-based pay. On the one hand, if CEOs are assumed to be mean-variance maximizers, I show that it is suboptimal to provide incentives with contracts which are convex in performance. This is because these contracts make the variance of pay an increasing function of the CEO's effort, which is inefficient. Sticks are more efficient than carrots, although the latter may be used in case the agent is protected by limited liability. On the oth

Abstract:

This paper examines the impact of CEO turnover from an internal capital allocation perspective. We test whether new CEOs make different divisional investment decisions than their predecessors, and if yes, how would this difference affect firm performance. We find that segment investments respond to factors, such as segment investment opportunity, segment cash flow, and other segments’ cash flows, differently after CEO turnover. Evidence also indicates that new CEOs adjust the segments’ previous over-investment /under-investment status to match industry average investment level, and they adjust

Abstract:

<p> Our study examines whether CEO compensation decreases in response to the reduction in firm size after a corporate spinoff. We find overall that CEO pay decreases subsequent to the spinoff, consistent with efficiency theory. However, the decrease is driven by the pay adjustment ac- companying CEO turnover around the spinoff. New CEOs hired around the spinoff have little bargaining power in regards to their compensation and thus we observe a decline in CEO compensation around these spinoff events. The compensation of those CEOs which span the spinoff event does not decrease, consistent with

Chief Executive Offier (CEO) characteristics, such as the level of risk aversion, are known to affect corporate financial policies, and therefore are likely to impact corporate liquidity decisions. We examine changes in cash holdings around CEO turnover events, a period in which discrete changes in managerial preferences and abilities are likely to have the most dramatic effect on cash holdings. Our results suggest that cash holdings increase significantly following forced departures. The increase is persistent over the successor's tenure and is robust to controls for the standard firm-level d

Abstract:

The agency theory literature implies the pay-performance based managerial compensation can relieve the agency problem between shareholders and managers. As the interests of shareholders and managers are aligned, managers have incentive to invest in best projects and hence to improve firms’ performance. While the use of equity compensation to managers may reduce the agency cost between managers and shareholders, its impact on agency cost of debts is ambiguous. On the one hand, a large portion of equity compensation discourages risk-averse managers to invest in risky investment and hence reduce

Empirical findings show that creditors use significantly more covenants, increase covenant intensity, and rely on different types of covenants, such as debt-to-cash flow and coverage ratio to lower the default risk emanating from managerial overconfidence. Besides, creditors tighten individual covenants, such as debt-to-cash flow covenants and current ratio covenants in order to alleviate their risk exposure.

Poor decisions and conflicts of interest by members of company boards of directors have been a factor in the dramatic rise in chief executive officer (CEO) compensation, resulting in a lower return on equity (ROE) for shareholders.

Agency theory was the theoretical framework for this study. The study examined whether a statistically significant relationship existed between CEO compensation,

Risk is something intrinsic to business, and something firms are exposed to on a daily basis. This means that there exists a great deal of pressure on the Top Management of a firm to successfully navigate the different risks to which they are exposed.

But what influenced the CEO when making such decisions? The Upper Echelon Theory suggests that decisions made by the Top Management Team of a firm are influenced by their values and the

碩士<br>元智大學<br>財務金融暨會計碩士班(財務金融學程)<br>107<br>This paper studies the effect of CEO succession plan disclosure on the process of identifying its CEO successor. A CEO succession plan helps evaluate the capability of the top executives and identify a competent successor when the existing CEO steps down. Therefore, we find a firm that discloses its succession plan is more likely to force out an underperforming CEO. In addition, the board of such firms has long term plan and is better prepared for CEO succession and thus can find a competent successor in the event of CEO forced and retire turnover. Th

碩士<br>國立交通大學<br>財務金融研究所<br>102<br>This paper investigates the relationship between the incentive compensation and takeover activities including friendly takeover events and hostile takeover events. Due to the fact that hostile takeover is perceived as a high risk task, therefore to test whether the higher incentive compensations granted to CEOs in advance are strong enough to compensate them for choosing to challenge the hostile takeover tasks which are associated with higher risk, rather than choosing the safer friendly takeover jobs is our main purpose. On the other hand, we will also examin

Using a sample of 605 US observations over year 2005 through 2010, we find that firms with overconfidence CEO have higher chance to use derivative than firms without overconfidence managers. Furthermore, we examine the impact of derivative usage by overconfidence CEO. The results show that hedge firms have lower performance than non-hedge firms. Overconfidence CEO with derivative usage have inferior performance than non-overconfidence CEO in using derivative.

The thesis then examines how networks among CEOs facilitate commonality in liquidity and commonality in asset growth among connected firms. The essay t

This paper explores if CEO reputation matters to corporate financial reporting quality by examining their connections. The efficient contracting hypothesis suggests that reputed CEOs are associated with good earnings quality, while the rent extraction hypothesis argues the opposite. Empirical results indicate that reputed CEOs are associated with better earnings quality than less-reputed CEOs, supporting the efficient contracting
