CEO incentive contracts are commonplace in China but their incidence varies significantly across Chinese cities. We show that city and provincial policy experiments help explain this variance. We examine the role of two policy experiments: the use of... Read More about CEO Incentive Contracts in China: Why does City Location Matter?.
