Abstract:

We examine the relationship between CEO tenure and firm performance while adjusting for human capital, social capital, and other variables, using a sample of French CEOs. Our results are consistent with entrenchment of CEOs having both human and social capital; other CEOs generally show a significant relationship between tenure and firm performance. CEO tenure appears to be a measurable reward for financial performance, except for a CEO with both human capital (through either general education or prior work experience with the firm) and social capital (through either a network from an elite institution or a family connection to the firm).
