| Abstract: | The role of executive compensation in corporate governance is analyzed in this paper. The results from a broad cross-section of large public firms in USA are inconsistent with recent claims that entrenched managers plan their own compensation contracts. The interactions of the corporate governance mechanisms with total pay-for-performance and excess compensation can be explained by governance substitution. If a company has generally weaker governance, the compensation contract helps better align the interests of shareholders and the CEO. |
