Abstract: We find evidence that corporations with narcissistic CEOs have fewer corporate misconduct violations and pay lower fines in penalties. When a non-narcissistic (narcissistic) CEO is replaced with a narcissistic (non-narcissistic) CEO, the number of corporate violations diminishes (increases).
