This study aims to provide further evidence on asymmetric cost behavior from one of the emerging economies, Pakistan. The study provides also empirical evidence on the potential impact of board committee’s characteristics on nature and magnitude of asymmetric cost behavior. This study develops three multiple regression models through the use of panel data fixed model to examine the behavior of Selling, General and Administration cost (SG&A) and the influence of board committee’s characteristics and other control variables in a sample of 86 listed companies during 2014-2018. The analysis provides evidence on SG&A asymmetric behavior, where the analysis finds that SG&A increase by rupees 0.20 but decrease by rupees 1.17 for an equivalent activity change of 1 rupee. These findings are inconsistent with the traditional assumption that views costs as behaving in a linear fashion. Moreover, the study also revealsthat firmyear observations with Average Number of Members in Committee (ANMC) overlapped members in Remuneration and Audit Committee (OMC) Board Compensation (BC) exhibit cost asymmetry. However, higher economic growth and institutional ownership found to exhibit greater cost stickiness. The findings of this study offer new evidence on SG&A asymmetric cost behavior from an emerging economy. Additionally, the findings of the study bridge a large gap in literature on the association among corporate governance and SG&A asymmetric cost behavior
