Abstract
Relying on proprietary Canadian data, we determine a positive relationship between the level of Canadian CEO compensation and the existence of significant international components among a CEO’s array of responsibilities. Our findings are consistent with agency and human capital theoretical arguments. Results imply that executive pay premiums should be anticipated and budgeted for in the planning and implementation of international ventures.
