This article sheds light on the extent of managerial pay in the OECD. It uses a novel database on managerial wages and other types of compensation to compare managerial remuneration across different sectors, especially, the financial sector, and across countries. We find evidence of a significant earnings premium in the financial sector which amounts to about 43% in the average OECD country—after conditioning out observable director-specific and firm-specific characteristics. Yet, there is considerable heterogeneity of earnings across both countries and different types of businesses within the financial sector.
