The Influence of Outside Directors' Stock‐Option Compensation on Firms' R&D

Abstract: Using a sample of S&P 1500 firms between 1997 and 2000, this paper examines the effects of outside directors' stock-option compensation on firms' R&D intensity. Results suggest that including stock options in outside directors' compensation enhances firms' R&D.

The results also highlight the need to re-evaluate previous finding… Show more

“…However, it also adversely impacts short-term performance owing to its high uncertainty and high cost [1,12]. Therefore, how much to spend on R&D is one of the most sophisticated investment decisions faced by firm managers [2,14].

“…Therefore, how much to spend on R&D is one of the most sophisticated investment decisions faced by firm managers [2,14]. In fact, to a certain extent, it represents a trade-off between short-term performance and long-term performance [14]. Given the key role of R&D investment in firm development and its complexity in decision-making, scholars often investigate what factors affect corporate investment in R&D [2].…”

“…It has been comprehensively explained in the literature that CEO compensation has a significant impact on the firm performance. A thorough review of the current literature reveals conflicting results regarding this relationship (Adjaoud et al, 2007;Bauer et al, 2009;Deutsch, 2007;Herrmann et al, 2010;Junarsin, 2011;Kubo & Saito 2008;Lee et al, 2008;Makri et al, 2006;Pissaris et al, 2010;Schiehll & Bellavance, 2009;& Yawson, 2006) found a positive relationship between CEO compensation and firm performance in the developed countries.
