Abstract

This study examines the linkage between a heightened managerial discretion due to an environmental change on executive compensation. Specifically, we consider the impact of deregulation on three facets of executive pay: structure, level and the degree of disparity among the top executives. The results indicate mixed support for previous findings on the effects of an environmental shift on executive incentive system.
