  1. Note: The table shows OLS regression results for the equation Compit=α0+α1·FirmPerfit+α2·PeerPerfit+α3·Cit+εit. The first column presents the results from regressing log of total CEO compensation on stock return, industry peer performance, and other variables. The second column documents regression results based on industry and size quartiles, that is, Albuquerque (2009)’s approach. OLS estimation is based on clustered standard errors. Firm size and growth options for the period 2004 to 2013 are also reported. We include year, industry, and country dummies. The corresponding p values are reported in parentheses below each coefficient estimate. We report significance levels for 1% (), 5% (), and 10% ()
