Abstract:     
This paper provides new empirical insights on the association between a firm’s operating structure and the level of CEO equity incentives. We investigate a sample of supplier firms that rely on a few large customers for most of their revenues. We predict that supplier firms with higher customer concentration face both higher idiosyncratic risk and lower monitoring costs and, as a result, rely less on equity-based managerial incentive compensation contracts. Our empirical results support these predictions.
