Abstract

Chief executive officer (CEO) resignations are of interest to shareholders. The market typically responds to such changes in relation to the gain or loss of human capital. This study investigates the issue of whether or not resignations of hospitality industry CEOs convey new and relevant information to the public markets. The study examines 32 resignations from 26 firms over a 12-year period and finds that CEO resignations from hospitality firms convey new and relevant information to the financial markets, albeit in a delayed manner. Findings also suggest information symmetry, indicating that investors can be confident that hospitality stocks are traded fairly in the capital markets.
