Abstract
Strategic management research has well recognized the heterogeneous effects of different types of shareholders. However, the implication of having them coexisting in a firm has not been clearly understood. We investigate this question in a context where a government regulation exogenously influenced state shareholders’ goal, prompting them to cut the executive salary of their firms. Using data on Chinese listed firms, we find that the government regulation led to a significant decrease in CEO compensation of state-controlled firms. The decrease was attenuated if a firm also has a domestic private blockholder, but accentuated if a firm has a foreign blockholder.
