  • Data & Code
    1. Data. Together with my co-author Alex Wagner, I maintain a database on forced CEO turnovers. It contains the dates of forced CEO turnovers of all firms recorded in the ExecuComp database between 1993 and 2012. It is updated periodically to include more recent data. The file is a merged, cleansed, and extended version of data collected by Jenter and Kanaan (1993-2001) and Peters and Wagner (2001-2010). The construction of the dataset has also benefitted from turnover data generously provided to us by Greg Nini, Luke Taylor, Cami Kuhnen and Andrea Eisfeldt. If you are interested in the dataset, send an email to f.s.peters@uva.nl.
    2. Programs. I have written three STATA programs that compute the subjective (or certainty equivalent) value of executive compensation and components thereof. The subjective value is computed according to the model of Ingersoll, Jonathan E., 2006, The subjective and objective evaluation of incentive stock options, Journal of Business, vol. 79, no. 2, pp. 453-488. The STATA programs below create a variable containing the subjective value of total executive compensation (1st file), the subjective value of option compensation (2nd file) and the subjective value of restricted stock (3rd file).

      The programs were used for an empirical application in the paper "The Executive Turnover Risk Premium", Journal of Finance, vol. 69, no. 4, pp. 1529-1563 (with Alexander Wagner).

      A detailed description of the code is given in the preamble at the top of the code.

      The STATA programs are .ado files. Some of the programs require that you have other programs installed. If you encounter an "unrecognized program: <program name>" error in STATA, you can type "findit <program name>" to try to find the missing program on line. You can install any of the programs individually by copying the relevant .ado files to your ado directory.
