Abstract | This paper examines the effect of marital status of corporate executives on firms’ innovation as measured by R&D productivity. Based on a sample of all Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) from Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 1500 companies, we document a strong connection between single CEOs and elevated levels of corporate innovation. The association prevails when we control for a set of CEO attributes and a battery of tests including propensity score matching and difference-in-difference analysis. Our findings have potential implications for understanding variations in innovation practices and for identifying CEO who are likely to excel at innovation. |
