Abstract

Under the special institutional background of China's capital market, political connection is an important form of interaction between government and enterprises. Based on the data of Shanghai-Shenzhen A-share stock markets from 2010 to 2016, this paper analyzes the influence of executive payment on earnings management, and analyzes the regulatory mechanism in which political connection plays a role. The study has found that executive payment is significantly and positively correlated with accrued earnings management; political connection negatively regulates the relationship between executive payment, accrued earnings and real earnings management.
