摘要
This study examines the association between product recall and CEO compensation. Using a sample of U.S. automobile industry product recalls from 1999 to 2018, we find that product recalls have significant negative impacts on CEO compensation. Our findings hold after con-trolling for the common determinants of CEO compensation, such as firms' stock market and operating performance and CEO-specific characteristics. An additional analysis shows that CEOs' total and long-term compensation decreases with the number of recalls. However, we find no association between CEOs' cash compensation and product recalls.
