Funded Activity Summary

Executive Overconfidence. This project aims to analyse the benefits and costs of appointing overconfident individuals as Chief Executive Officers (CEOs), their subsequent impact on corporate performance and litigation-risk, and how this CEO overconfidence may be harnessed through appropriate regulation and incentive-based contracts. The project will examine the circumstances in which firms appoint overconfident individuals as CEOs and how such individuals may affect firm performance, including takeover performance and litigation risk. The project aims to analyse whether regulations, such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, can help to harness CEO overconfidence. Additionally, it will assess the optimal way to compensate overconfident CEOs to maximise firm value.
