摘要
In this study, we investigate whether CEOs' use of Twitter influences their compensation. The results show that CEOs benefit from being active on social media because this participation helps reduce information asymmetry. Further, the effect of this Twitter usage becomes stronger when firms face competitive markets. We also use earnings announcements to show how CEOs' tweets can lower the deviations in stock prices around these announcements. Overall, a CEO's personal use of social media can help to reduce the information asymmetry between their firm and investors. This strategic tool benefits the CEO when negotiating compensation.
