摘要：
We examine the relationship between chief executive officers (CEOs) and firm innovation. Using CEO individual-level and firm-level data across the Chinese A-share market from 2008 to 2015, a Poisson model estimation shows that financial expert CEOs have significant negative impacts on firm innovation. Financial expert CEOs have caused a 17.5% decrease in the firm innovation level. We argue that the negative effect is due to the crowding-out effect of additional financial investments, which is facilitated by the CEOs' behavioral consistency. Our study sheds light on exploring CEOs' behavioral idiosyncrasy on firms' nonfinancial performance.
