摘要
This study investigates the effect of block ownership (institutions and state) on CEO compensation and the extent to which gender diversity in the corporate board moderates this nexus during the period from 2008 to 2016 in all Chinese A-share listed firms. The empirical findings of our study are twofold. First, our results indicate that institutional ownership has a positive and significant impact on CEO compensation, while state ownership has a negative and significant impact on CEO compensation. Second, by analysing the moderating role of gender diversity, our results show that gender diversity negatively (positively) moderates the relationship between institutional (state) ownership and CEO compensation. These findings are robust with the use of an alternative measure of CEO compensation and estimation techniques. Overall, our study supports the resource dependence perspective of the moderating role of board gender diversity.
