Abstract

This paper represents the first attempt to empirically examine the relationship between Chief Executive Officer (CEO) educational background and firm financial performance. Using a relatively broad sample of 390 US firms, we find no significant evidence that the type or selectivity of the education of the CEO is related to firm financial performance.
