摘要
The publication of the China Securities Regulatory Commission's "Proposed Guidelines on Establishing the Independent Director System in Listed Companies" on August 21, 2001 marked the official beginning of the system of independent directors in the listed companies of China. This paper examines the question of whether independent directors could reduce CEO pay and enhance corporate performance. Using a sample of the Chinese listed companies, we find a positive relationship between CEO compensation and two measures of performance; namely return on assets (ROA) and stock returns (RETURN). Board composition of directors has a significant influence on CEO pay as well.
