Abstract (EN): In this paper, we examine whether the determinants and forms of executive compensation for NYSE versus NASDAQ listed firms are the same during the period from 1992 to 2004. We also investigate whether the determinants and forms of executive compensation changed after the NASDAQ crash in 2000 and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in 2002. Our results reveal that the factors that explain executive compensation for NYSE and NASDAQ listed firms are generally different. We also find that executives are paid different forms of compensation for NYSE and NASDAQ listed firms and that the forms of compensation change after the NASDAQ crash but essentially after the Sarbanes-Oxley act in 2002.
