Abstract: Nominal salary is a symbolic amount that does not represent economically meaningful compensation. In this study, we document that CEO nominal salary is positively related to a firms' operating and stock performance. Our results stay robust when we address endogeneity issues using the Heckman self-selection two-stage regression and propensity score matching approach. The findings of our study render important implications about CEO compensation structure and how it can align manager incentives with shareholder wealth.
