Title:Do Outside CEOs Improve Firm Efficiency? Plant-level Evidence
Abstract:Prior studies document mixed results on the relative performance of outside and inside CEOs. Using detailed plant-level data, we find strong evidence that outsiders achieve higher growth in productivity compared to insiders. Contrary to conventional wisdom, we find that outsiders improve profitability in both: low- and high-performing firms. Efficiency gains arise mainly from consolidation of product offering, adoption of newer technology, increases in labor productivity, and more active restructuring activity. Changes in productivity help explain CEO appointment announcement returns and speed of learning about CEO’s ability. Overall, our results suggest that outsiders are more effective in correcting pre-turnover inefficiencies.
