Abstract
This paper examines how CEO characteristics affect board structure through structural estimation. I find a negative relation between board independence and CEO ability. This relation is strong when CEO ability is low, but it is weak on average. Further, when I restrict CEO ability to be the only CEO characteristic that can cause variation in board independence, the standard deviation of board independence in the simulated sample is less than 50% of its empirical counterpart. These results explain the reasons for the insignificant relation between board independence and CEO ability within a regression framework.
