Model 4 and Model 5 in Table 5 report estimated coefficients of OLS regression of
institutional ownership aggregation influence on CEO cash compensation. The results
indicate that ownership aggregation is positively and significantly correlated to chief
executive officer’s cash compensation (significant at 1% level). An explanation for this
may be that in case of institutional ownership aggregation CEO is not being monitored
directly. This leads to CEO entrenchment and pressuring firm to increase his cash
compensation (Khan, Dharwadkar and Brandes, 2005). The emphasis of CEO influence
on his own cash compensation is due to his risk aversion (Ofek and Yermack, 2000). The
R2 of Model 5 is 33%, which is high.
