ABSTRACT: This study documents the existence of local employment preferences for corporate
executives and examines how the compensation of executives’ local peers affects their own
performance, risk-taking decisions, and financial reporting decisions. We find that external hires
of new CEOs (CFOs) are five (eight) times more likely to be from local firms than non- local firms.
We also find that local tournament incentives—as proxied by the pay gap between an executive and
higher-paid executives in the area—are associated with stronger performance, greater risk taking,
and more financial misreporting. We find consistent results using a difference-in-differences
analysis that exploits plausibly exogenous variation in local tournament incentives caused by
the sudden death of a local CEO. Our findings are consi tent with
executives taking actions to compete for a promotion to a nearby firm with higher pay.
