| Abstract: | This study theoretically and empirically addresses the possible separation of substance and symbolism in CEO compensation contracts by examining political and institutional determinants of long-term incentive plan (LTIP) adoption and use among 570 of the largest US corporations over two decades. The authors find that a substantial number of firms are likely to adopt but not actually use LTIPs, suggesting a potential separation of substance and symbol in CEO compensation contracts. |
