This research examines how managerial ability affects firm-specific stock price crashes based on efficient contracting and rent-seeking theories. According to data from listed companies in Taiwan, the study finds a significant positive relationship between managerial ability and crash risk, supporting the rent-seeking theory. It also shows that tournament-based managerial compensation positively moderates the relationship, while managerial ownership negatively influences it. Moreover, over-investment is identified as a mediator in this relationship. In summary, the findings highlight that managerial ability may also have a detrimental effect on investor wealth. |
