Is CEO compensation related to a company's performance?
To test whether CEO compensation and a company's stock performance are related, a financial analyst collected data on
12
randomly selected, publicly traded companies. For each company, the analyst looked at two variables: the percent change in stock price over the past five years (which she denoted
x
) and the percent change in CEO compensation over the past five years (which she denoted
y
). For these
12
companies, the least-squares regression equation relating the two variables was
=y+−0.1650.046x
, and the standard error of the slope of this least-squares regression line was approximately
0.028
.
Using her information, test for a significant linear relationship between these two variables by doing a hypothesis test regarding the population slope
β1
. (Assume that the variable
y
follows a normal distribution for each value of
x
and that the other regression assumptions are satisfied.) Use the…
We have data from 209 publicly traded companies (circa 2010) indicating sales and compensation
information at the firm-level. We are interested in predicting a company's sales based on the CEO's
salary. The variable sales; represents firm i's annual sales in millions of dollars. The variable
salary; represents the salary of a firm i's CEO in thousands of dollars. We use least-squares to
estimate the linear regression
sales; = a + ßsalary; + ei
and get the following regression results:
regress sales salary
