Abstract
This paper shows that the likelihood of post-acquisition CEO turnover can act as a constraint on risky acquisition decisions. The acquisition premium in pay decreases by over 50% if the dismissal risk is controlled for. Given a smaller pay premium for undertaking acquisitions and a non-zero risk of dismissal, shareholders are shown to be able to exercise some control over managerial incentives to engage in risky acquisitions through the mechanism for dismissal.
