Description:
Due to institutional investors' increasing ownership and interest in corporate governance, we hypothesize that the presence of institutional investors is associated with certain executive compensation structures. We find a significantly negative relation between the level of compensation and the concentration of institutional ownership, suggesting that institutions serve a monitoring role in the shareholder-manager agency problem. We further find a significantly positive relation between the pay-for-performance sensitivity of executive compensation and both the level and concentration of institutional ownership.These results suggest that the institutions act as a complement rather than a substituteto incentive compensation in mitigating the agency problem
