| Tiivistelmä: | This paper considers the relation between management quality, firm size, and managerial compensation. Exploring a German (SOEP) and a British (BHPS) data set the authors show that the impact of firm size on pay, which is consistently found in the management literature, vanishes (to a large extent) if it is controlled for manager quality. For the UK, we even find negative firm size elasticities. Different corporate governance systems may explain that in Germany the pay/firm size relation can only be partially explained by management quality measures. The impact of manager quality on firm size appears predominantly in the stochastic individual effects. Only for the German sample is the education / firm size -relation significant. Whether this surprising result is due to measurement problems deserves further attention. |
