Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between a company's performance, measured by Economic Value Added (EVA) and/or Market Value Added (MVA), and the compensation of its chief executive officer. The study also considers whether any relationship between compensation and performance might vary by industry. The results show MVA to be more closely related to executive compensation than is EVA, having a positive and significant association with each component of compensation.
