Are you sure? I don't think that the individual performance of each CEO is interesting. I think that the interesting thing is the arrival of a new CEO.
So your data structure is that you have, as your predictor variable, the time since the new CEO took over, and as a predicted variable you have the change in CAR for that year. Or something like that – I'm not an economist (and clearly no-one in Ireland is!). Your data are clustered by company. Or so it seems from your description of your hypothesis. Certainly, analysing each individual CEO won't get you any nearer to it.
