| Tiivistelmä: | The 1992 revision of executive compensation disclosure rules in the USA could benefited shareholders by inducing corporate governance improvements or harmed them by increasing disclosure costs. Consistent with the governance improvement hypothesis, companies that lobbied against the regulation had, relative to control firms: return-on-assets and retun-on-equality that improved by 0.5 % and 3 %, respectively, and excess stock returns of 6 % over the 8-month period between the announcement and the adoption of the proposed regulation. Also, firms lobbying more vigorously against the proposal had more positive abnormal stock returns during events that increased the probability of regulation. |
