Abstract
CEO Pay Slice (CPS), a measure of CEO relative compensation introduced by Bebchuk, Cremers and Peyer [2011. Journal of Financial Economics 102, 199-221], is used widely in the literature as a proxy for chief executive officer dominance. Nonetheless, CPS does not control for the distribution of pay among the top executives and, as we show empirically, often misestimates the level of CEO power. As a result, its empirical application exposes researchers to the risk of drawing false conclusions. We propose a number of supplementary measures that could be used in conjunction with CPS to improve the measurement accuracy of CEO dominance.
