This study examines the effects of CEO(or Management) compensation sensitivity on R&D costs. Traditionally, R&D costs is used for earnings management. In previous studies, the main factors for R&D costs are analyzed as firm characteristics and industry characteristics. However, since the CEO decides R&D costs at CEO discretion, the key factor in the R&D costs factor is the CEO's motivation. Therefore, this study examines the effect of CEO's compensation sensitivity on R&D costs. As a result of the empirical analysis of this study, CEO's show differences according to the method of R&D costs according to the compensation structure. This directly shows that CEO's actively use R&D costs for their own private interest. This study empirically analyzed that the method of R&D costs differs according to the management compensation structure.
