Financial Excesses and Executive Compensation Stickiness

Abstract

This research selects China A-share listed companies from 2007-2018 as the research sample, and empirically tests the impact of financial excesses and property rights on the executive compensation stickiness. This study finds that financial excesses have a significant regulating effect on executive compensation stickiness, and the degree of stickiness regulation for enterprises with different property rights is quite different. Financial excesses inhibit executive compensation stickiness in local-state-owned enterprises and non-state-owned enterprises, but have a positive effect when it happens in central-state-owned enterprises
