An empirical examination of the relation between debt contracts and management incentives

Article Abstract:

Both single-stage and two-stage estimation techniques were used to investigate the relation between debt contracts and management incentives. The four incentive variables considered are the CEO's cash compensation, CEO stock wealth, CEO stock wealth/compensation ratio and the CEO ownership fraction. The debt contracts were found to have a significant negative relation to the four incentive variables. Results of two-stage simultaneous equations models showed that only the CEO ownership fraction was significant.
