International Influences on CEO Bonus - The Case of Swedish Acquiring CEOs

Bülow, Oscar and Prenker, Tomas (2008)
Department of Business Administration
Abstract
In our study we intend to investigate if there is a specific acquisition component, in line with Grinstein and Hribar’s study, in the bonus for CEOs in companies based in Sweden. The acquisition component will be studied in an international as well as in a domestic context, i.e. acquisitions of foreign and domestic companies. Using cross-sectional regression analysis, estimated with OLS, with Bonus of Swedish CEOs as dependent variable in order to test our hypotheses. The theoretical framework contains agency and corporate governance theories as well as previously made studies. We find weak support for the hypothesis that the CEO bonus increases as a consequence of making foreign acquisitions.
