Abstract

In this paper we compare the relations between the changes in the personal wealth of CEOs and firm performance among Japanese and American companies. Using a personal income measure imputed from annual personal income tax amounts for Japanese executives, we show that Japanese and US CEOs are rewarded for short-term changes in operating income and changes on shareholder wealth, and that the associations are similar for both groups.
