Abstract:

We examine the value of outsiders by voting behavior of boards. Our model proves that boards with a majority of trustworthy but uninformed outsiders can implement institutionally preferred policies and augment corporate performance by upgrading resource allocation. Our laboratory experiments strongly support this conclusion that higher proportion of appointed outsiders yields more efficient boards. We also find outsider-dominated boards, given enough time, will reduce information asymmetry among directors and thereby execute institutionally preferred policies

Abstract:

Corporate governance reform in Japan was triggered by the introduction of a new corporate governance code in 2015. The code is notable for requiring the addition of two or more independent directors to the boards of listed firms, which previously had consisted largely of internally promoted directors enjoying lifetime employment. Applying the framework of behavioral law and economics, we analyze the change from the two aspects of “offense” and “defense” by the board of directors, meaning, respectively, enhancing the quality of group decision-making by producing collective intelligence, and pre

Abstract:

AbstractThis paper models the interaction of firm insiders and outsiders on a corporate board and addresses the question of the board's ideal size and composition. In the model, the board is responsible for monitoring projects and making CEO succession decisions. Inside directors are better informed regarding the quality of firm investment projects, but outsiders can use CEO succession to motivate insiders to reveal their superior information and help the board implement higher value projects. The optimal board structure is determined by the trade-off between maximizing the incentive for insid

Abstract:

Using a sample of 192 Standard & Poor’s 500 firms, we examine the impact of corporate governance and ownership context on a particular instance of board entrenchment: adoption of classified board provisions. Interestingly, while increased outsider representation measured simply as a proportion of outsiders does not affect the rate of adoption, reliance on a more fine grained measure, which includes other affiliations of outsiders, results in a marginally significant influence. Moreover, it appears that reliance on a simple proportional measure is likely to distort the effects of other vari

This paper studies secrecy in voting and the role of information on coalition building in corporate governance.

The results are consistent with insiders and large outsiders cooperating and voting as a block to maintain power, this imposes costs on other shareholders. Consistent with the agency theory and the coalition building theory, management initiated amendments have a more negative impact than s

Abstract:

AbstractThis paper examines the valuation impacts of outside independent directors in Korea, where a regulation requiring outside directors was instituted after the Asian financial crisis. In contrast to studies of U.S. firms, the effects of independent directors on firm performance are strongly positive. Foreigners also have positive impacts. The effects of indigenous institutions such as chaebol or family control are insignificant or negative. This implies that the effect of outsiders depends on board composition as well as the nature of the market in which the firm operates.

This study investigates the impact of outsiders’ demand for more information (or transparency) on corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. Drawing on a dataset of U.S. companies from 2010 to 2023, CSR performance is measured using ASSET4 ratings, while CSR disclosure levels are captured through the number of words and sentences in reports. Utilizing within-industry and -firm OLS regressions, our analyses reveal a positive relationship between the demand for more information and future CSR investments, showing that firms with higher demand for information not only enhance their CSR pe

Our findings show that 68.57% of our sample firms are located on the efficiency frontier.

The treatment of shareholder loans in corporate insolvency is a controversial issue in many jurisdictions. On both sides of the Atlantic, lawmakers and courts have struggled to answer the question if and under what circumstances shareholder loans should be treated differently from loans granted by outsiders. In particular, the difficulties turn on three issues: (i) whether shareholder loans should rank pari passu with the claims of outside creditors or whether they should be subordinated; (ii) whether the repayment of shareholder loans should be subject to specific restrictions, particularly i

We show that markets with relatively greater auditor penalties for audit failures and greater insider penalties for detected resource diversion have larger total investment levels, a higher proportion of the firm held by outsi

The objective of this paper is to examine the relationships between the governance structure of a firm and its choice of corporate strategy. Using a sample of 102 corporate takeovers, it finds that the probability of engaging in a diversification program decreases when the board of directors is dominated by outsiders, but it increases when the CEO is also the chairperson of the board. In addition, it finds that the gains to the shareholders of the acquiring firm are smaller when the CEO is also the chairperson of the board.

Abstract:Much of socially relevant behaviour does not originate in isolated individuals. It is embedded in institutional arrangements. Embeddedness can be so pronounced that outsiders no longer focus on the judgement and decision making of individuals contributing to the course of action. Instead, they ascribe the behaviour to the institution, which they refer to as a corporate actor. This social practice makes it meaningful to compare isolated individuals and corporate actors undertaking the same tasks.

Additional analyses show that the monitoring role is stronger when firms are more scrutinized by outsiders and have better corporate governance.

This paper contributes to the literature on corporate governance by providing evidence on the importance of owner identity on technology transfer from foreign firms.

We find that across different ownership groups only domestic outsiders benefit from spillovers of technology transfer.

Abstract:

Abstract Modern information technologies have fundamentally changed how information is disseminated in financial markets. Using the staggered implementation of the EDGAR system from 1993 to 1996 as a shock to information dissemination technologies, we find evidence that internet dissemination of corporate disclosures increases information production by corporate outsiders. Trades by individual investors, especially those with access to the internet, become more informative about future stock returns following the EDGAR implementation. The amount and accuracy of information produced by sell-sid

Abstract:

The governance cycle – here defined as the changes in the identity of the dominant owner and ownership concentration - is marked by the key phases of firm life-cycle, including start-up, growth, an eventual restructuring or exit stage. Privatized firms in transition countries, however, experience somehow specific cycles, which reflect the characteristics of the economic and institutional environment in transition: i) the type of privatization that initially often introduced a high proportion of employee ownership (like in Russia and Slovenia); ii) strong pressures for restructuring and ownersh

Corporate governance is the current exhortation in India as well as the world over. As an offshoot of economic liberalization, global investment in the form of foreign direct investment and foreign institutional investment have gained momentum leading to vast economic growth in India. On the other hand, major corporate scams that have occurred worldwide in recent times, have revealed that the need for strict supervision and scrutiny over corporate management and governance is a sin quo non for the protection of stakeholders and the growth of the nation which has to compete with the

Abstract:

AbstractThe rise of large business corporations in the late 19th century compelled many American observers to admit that the nature of the corporation had yet to be understood. Published in this context, Ernst Freund's little-known The Legal Nature of Corporations (1897) was an original attempt to come to terms with a new legal and economic reality. But it can also be described, to paraphrase Oliver Wendell Holmes, as the earliest example of the rational study of corporate law. The paper shows that Freund had the intuitions of an institutional economist, and engaged in what today would be call

Abstract:

Earnings smoothing, which refers to the action of managers managing earnings to reduce fluctuations of reported earnings, is a special type of earnings management because while earnings smoothing may be used to distort shareholders and creditors’ view of corporate actual performance, it may also serve as a tool to communicate corporate private information of future earnings to the aforementioned stakeholders. Hence, it comes to no surprise when prior literatures reveal that the studies on the role of earnings smoothing are divided into two streams: as information signaling and information garb

Abstract:

The extant literature on family firms has concentrated on succession planning and typically, on the experiences of western industrialized countries. This has skewed research and impeded our understanding of the dynamics of family firms, particularly their growth, evolution, processes and the exercise of power within the firm. In recent years, as family firms reform their organizational structure and processes, professionals and ‘outsiders’ are now brought into the firm to better ‘manage’ and oversee the firm and its activities. These effects are however not well understood and we do not know h
