Researchers from Binghamton University in the US analysed data that included CEO pay and layoff announcements made by S&P 500 firms from 1992-2014 in the financial services, consumer staples and IT industries. Adjusting the analysis for a number of different factors that could influence a layoff -- such as industry conditions, company size, firm performance -- researchers found that the "underpaid" CEOs were four times more likely to announce a layoff.
