Abstract

We examine the performance of chief executive officers (CEOs) of U.S. banks and thrifts. We apply Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to measure the performance of CEOs on a yearly basis over the 1997–2004 period, and find evidence that best-practice CEOs who have a DEA efficiency score of one are rewarded with higher compensation compared to under-performing CEOs who have a DEA efficiency score greater than one. We find DEA efficiency score to be a highly significant predictor of CEO compensation, even after adjusting for firm size. In addition, we find that DEA efficiency scores of CEOs have decreased over the observation period. We also find that best-practice CEOs tend to be persistent on a yearly basis, but we find little evidence of multi-period persistence. The results of this study can serve as a benchmark for CEOs wishing to evaluate their performance relative to their peers, and as a new measure of CEO performance.

Agency problems are present when information is asymmetric, i.e., information known only by insiders of the firm.
 
2
For example, a stock option granted to a CEO having an exercise price of $5 is considered worthless when the stock trades at $2, but a restricted stock option with the same exercise price and trades at $2 then it has only lost 40 % of its value.
 
3
The correlation between expenses, revenue, and income is at least 0.90 each year.
