is an indicator equal to 1 for firms in the adopting sample, and 0 for the local standards sample. To allow all coefficients from model (2) to vary with Adopt, the control variables in model (2) are also interacted with it. The coefficients a1, on DROAt-1, and a2, on DRETt-1, measure the turnover sensitivity to poor accounting performance and poor stock performance, respectively, for the “base category” of local standards firm prior to event year 0.The significant and positive coefficient on DRETt-1 suggests that CEO turnover is sensitive to poor stock performance. The coefficient on DROAt-1 is positive, although insignificant. Overall, these results are in line with the inferences from prior studies that the governance systems in Continental Europe discipline poorly performing managers
