Abstract:
This paper examines the effect of managerial qualifications on firm value. We study financial
performance of Fortune 500 firms using annual data for 2006-2009 using univariate and multivariate
methodologies. Our results indicate that companies whose managers that have MBA degrees or degrees
from the prestigious schools have higher market values. We also find evidence of a U-shaped relationship
between manager age and firm performance.
