摘要
We investigate the effect of say-on-pay (SOP) proposals on changes in executive and director compensation. Relative to non-SOP firms, SOP firms' total compensation to CEOs does not significantly change after the proposal. However, the mix of compensation does change-companies move away from using cash compensation toward more incentive compensation, offsetting the reduction in bonus. Further, the mix of compensation of non-CEO executives changes similarly to that of CEOs. Compensation to directors of SOP firms increases less than non-SOP firms. Firms whose CEOs are well compensated, especially with cash-based compensation, are most likely to receive a proposal.
