Pay-Performance Sensitivity, Executive Compensation, Firm Performance, Ownership Concentration

Resumo

We examine whether the firm's performance influences executive compensation and how the ownership concentration moderates this pay-performance relationship. Our sample comprises 205 Brazilian companies listed on Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão (B3) with available data between 2010 and 2018. We employ the Generalized Method of Moments with Instrumental Variables (IV-GMM) regressions to control the simultaneity effect of firm performance and executive compensation. Our main results indicate that although the positive influence of firm performance proxies (return on equity and return on assets) on executive compensation, the ownership concentration decrease the pay-performance sensitivity. Thus, our study contributes to the literature by showing that the high level of ownership concentration reduces the propensity of aligning the interests of managers for higher levels of compensation with the interests of shareholders for better firm profitability, not reflecting the recommended practices of corporate governance.
