The leading factor in this fluctuation was the drastic rise and fall in the level of executive compensation at a handful of financial enterprises. The main reason for the narrowing of the compensation gap is central government regulation, which has helped to curb the excessive growth of executive compensation in society as a whole. （3） Even in the same round of fluctuation, state-owned listed companies differ markedly from non-state-owned listed companies in the way their executive compensation is decided. （4） State-owned listed companies＇ executive compensation strategies and their internal governance structure have not played their due role in moderating the overly rapid growth of their executives＇ compensation or in reducing the compensation gap.展开更多
