Abstract:
This paper analyzes value-creation in firms at the project level. Our analysis of new client and product announcements indicates that the stock market conditions its response to new project announcements on the nature of CEO incentives within the firm. Announcement returns are positively related to CEO pay-performance sensitivity and have an inverse u-shaped relationship with CEO age, consistent with both career concerns and older managers facing compressed time horizons. We do not find that corporate governance variables predict project announcement returns. We also show that firms are likely to time their project announcements so as to avoid announcing projects at times when investors are likely to be distracted by other firm news.
