Abstract: | The authors investigate the relation between CEO compensation and accounting performance measures as a function of ownership structure. The authors use publicly- held property-liability insurers to consider the relation for firms with diffusely-held ownership and use privately- held property-liability insurers to consider the relation for firms with closely-held ownership. The authors find a significant positive association between return on assets and the level of compensation for publicly-held insurers. |
