摘要：

This study examines the implications that CEO age has on executive pay regarding data collected in a UK setting. Where prior research has typically focused on total pay (salary plus bonus), this study offers a more complete conceptual model by splitting pay into salary, annual bonus, and share options. In doing so, we found that the relationship between CEO salaries and age are significantly related with this association weakening over time. Another interesting finding not captured by prior research was that the relationship between CEO age and bonus appears to be non-linear in nature. Figures 2 which depicts this non-linear function suggest at about age 53, the proportion of bonus as a percentage of salary begins to decrease at an increasing rate. As a whole, these findings suggest corporate pay committees should consider family and the financial circumstances of the executive when designing remuneration schemes. © 2000 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
