摘要
In this paper we discuss the potential impact of managerial discretion and firm performance on CEO compensation, contingent on the extent of monitoring activities. We argue that CEO compensation may be positively related to executive discretion and corporate performance for firms that have vigilant external monitors.We alternatively contend that CEO compensation may neither be associated with discretion nor performance for firms with passive external monitors. The empirical results are supportive of our contentions. © 2002 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
