Evidence from planned versus unexpectedCEO departures, International Journal of Financial Research, Vol. 9, No. 3; 2018WORKING PAPERSWhen in Rome: Local Social Norms and Tournament Incentives (With Kristina Minnickand Natasha Burns)Revise and Resubmit at the Financial ReviewWe examine the role of local social norms that facilitate cooperation, as measured by social capital,on tournament incentives. We find that in U.S. counties with higher social capital, pay differentialsbetween the CEO and other executives, i.e. tournament, are lower. We use a variety of experimentswhich are shown to change social capital, such as legalization of gambling and marijuana, ormoving corporate headquarters and our results remain robust. These findings suggest that socialcapital impact firms’ compensation setting decisions and firm performance.Mind the Gap: Social Capital and Gender Pay Gap (With Kristina Minnick and NatashaBurns)We investigate whether social capital influences gender pay gap both between male and femaleexecutives and non-executive workers. We find that firms headquartered in US counties withstronger norms of cooperation, or social capital, are associated with lower gender pay gap. Inaddition, social capital mitigates the negative effect religion has on gender pay inequality. Ourresults hold to alternative measures of social capital, instrumental variables, and quasi-experimentsrelated to legalization of marijuana and firm headquarter relocation.RESEARCH IN PROGRESSWeathering the Storm: Do Banks Price Natural Disasters in Loan Covenants?
