Abstract

Abstract This paper investigates the impact of venture capital on managers’ compensation contracts. The results show that pay-performance sensitivity (PPS) is higher in venture-capital-backed companies than in non-venture-capital-backed companies. A higher PPS may bring managers of venture-capital-backed companies a higher extra emolument compared with that offered by other companies in the same industry. A further test shows that the positive effect of venture capital on PPS and extra emolument exists in (1) private enterprises rather than state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and (2) in firms backed by highly reputable venture capitalists (VCs) rather than in firms backed by VCs with a low reputation. The findings indicate that even after initial public offerings (IPOs), venture capital still has a positive impact on corporate governance and affects managerial compensation contracts.

Highlights

  • It is widely believed that the success of the venture capital industry is an important factor for innovation and economic growth

  • This indicates that venture capitalists (VCs) have a greater effect on managerial pay-performance sensitivity (PPS) in private enterprises than in state-owned enterprises (SOEs), which is consistent with the prediction of Hypothesis 2

  • A rapid growth in the venture capital industry has been witnessed in China

Summary

VC 与高管薪酬业绩敏感度计量模型

为了检验假说 1 和假说 2,本文借鉴国内外研究高管薪酬―业绩敏感度的模型 (Ke et al, 2012;辛清泉,2009;方军雄,2009),建立基本模型(1),在此模型的 基础上,加入 VC 哑变量以及 VC 哑变量与业绩变量的交乘项构建模型(2)。. 模型(1)中,因变量 LNPAYi,t 为高管薪酬的自然对数,用收入最高的前三名董 事的年度薪酬总额来衡量。在稳健性的检验中,我们还分别用 CEO 的薪酬、收入 最高的前三名高管人员的薪酬总额来衡量。自变量中,PERFORMANCEi,t 为净资产 收益率(ROE),等于扣除非经常损益后的净利润与期末净资产之比。6 在稳健性检 验中,我们还用了总资产收益率(ROA)来衡量会计业绩。控制变量(CONTROLi,t) 选取了公司年末总资产的自然对数(SIZE)、年末净资产的市场价值与账面价值比 (TQ)、企业年末的资产负债率(LEV)、第一大股东持股比例(FRSHD)、一般机 构投资者持股比例(INSTI)、董事会规模(BDS)、董事长与总经理两职兼任情况 (CBD)、独立董事比例(OUTDIR)、是否为民营企业(PRIV)等变量,分别用来 控制公司的规模、成长机会、债务杠杆、一般机构投资者、公司治理、企业性质等 因素对高管薪酬合约的影响。变量 YEARt、INDj 则分别用来控制年度及行业效应。. 模 型 ( 2 ) 在 模 型 ( 1 ) 的基础上增加的两个变量分别是 VCi,t 、 VCi,t×PERFORMANCEi,t,其中 VCi,t 是哑变量,第 t 年公司的第 2 到第 10 大股东中 有风险投资机构则 VCi,t 取 值 为 1 , 否 则 为 0 。 我们关注的是交互项 VCi,t×PERFORMANCEi,t 的系数 β3 的正负方向及显著性。根据假说 1 和假说 2,我们 预期交乘项的系数为正且主要体现在民营企业样本中。. 对经理提供激励最好的方式(Aggarwal and Jorion, 2010),因为它容易受经理人无法控制的外部 因素影响。相比股票回报,会计回报对基薪与奖金有更多的影响(Lambert and Larcker, 1987; Antle and Smith, 1986)。在国内,由于国内股票市场的特殊性,股票回报很难反映公司高管的业绩, 股票回报与高管薪酬的业绩敏感度很低(权小锋等,2010;吴育辉等,2010)。所以,现有研究 基本上采用会计业绩(方军雄,2009;谢德仁等,2012;卢锐等,2011)。而且,国内股票期权 等权益激励并不普遍。综上,本文也仅采用利润指标来衡量公司业绩。. REPUTi,t 是哑变量,如果在第 t 年,参与公司的 VC 是高声誉的风险投资机构则 取值 1,否则取值 0。我们关注的是交互项 REPUTi,t×PERFORMANCEi,t 系数 β3 的正 负方向及显著性。根据假说 3,我们预期 β3 显著为正。
