ABSTRACTThis article offers evidence in support of the hypothesis that when investors have weak protection, small investors can suffer expropriation by large shareholders. In this kind of situation, a stock’s idiosyncratic risk is found to be negatively related to ownership concentration, which indicates that the cost of controlling ownership may outweigh its benefits. This is consistent with the view that minority investors have less incentive to invest in companies with weak protection for investors. When this is accompanied by low-quality information disclosed to the public, private information is not likely to be reflected in stock prices, resulting in lower idiosyncratic risk. 相似文献

The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between the internationalization of Chinese firms and their corporate social performance (CSP), a topic that remains largely unexplored for Chinese firms. Based on a sample of 325 firms listed on the China A-shares market from 2010 to 2017, we find a positive relationship between the degree of internationalization (DOI) and CSP of Chinese firms. A positive relationship is also confirmed between corporate financial performance (CFP) and CSP in Chinese firms. However, we find that the interaction between CFP and DOI correlates negatively with CSP, indicating that during internationalization, CFP might not be conducive to improving CSP. Most listed firms in China are state-owned enterprises (SOEs), and we find that their CSP is inferior to that of non-SOEs. Finally, we find that hiring one of the four major accounting firms to conduct audits is conducive to a significant improvement in CSP. Managerial and policy implications derived from the results are discussed. 相似文献

We conjecture that board renewal mechanisms—those substantive enough to renew the thinking of the board—are required before investors can address the mismatch between their preferences regarding environmental sustainability and what insiders at firms are actually doing. We identify the adoption of majority voting for directors and the introduction of a female director as two corporate governance mechanisms potentially strong enough to renew a board's thinking on sustainability. Using a sample of 3,293 firms from 41 countries, along with quasi-exogenous shocks to board renewal mechanisms in Canada and France, we find that both board renewal mechanisms are associated with significantly higher future environmental performance. Further tests provide suggestive evidence that board renewal is more strongly associated with environmental performance in settings with better institutions and more motivated institutional investors. These results suggest the importance of board renewal for alignment of firm policies with investor preferences around the world. 相似文献

ABSTRACTWe aim to assess the effect of corporate governance on the financial, economic, and social performance of microfinance institutions (MFIs) in Pakistan. The sample comprises twenty-five MFIs and covers their performance over five years, 2005–09. The results of the study indicate that governance variables do have an influence on the performance (economic and social) and productivity of the MFIs in Pakistan. Larger boards inversely affect the economic performance but have a positive effect on outreach and productivity. Presence of female directors does not play any role in improving economic performance but positively affects outreach. Duality of chair with CEO is a negative contributor to performance, outreach, and productivity. Firm size, experience, regulation of MFIs, and nonprofit activities in lending have positive effects on performance outreach and productivity. 相似文献

在披露意愿、股权性质、经济周期调节变量的基础上研究企业社会责任对财务绩效的影响,考虑企业社会责任的时间滞后效应,加入滞后一期的CSR研究对财务绩效的影响。实证结果表明:当期企业社会责任与当期财务绩效呈正相关但不显著,滞后一期的企业社会责任显著正向影响当期财务绩效;当期企业社会责任与披露意愿、经济周期的交互作用表明,相对于经济繁荣期,在经济收缩期企业当期自愿披露企业社会责任报告会更显著提高当期财务绩效;当期企业社会责任与股权性质的交互作用表明相对于非国有企业,国企当期承担企业社会责任会显著提高当期财务绩效;滞后一期的企业社会责任与股权性质、经济周期的交互作用表明在经济收缩期,国有企业上一年履行企业社会责任会显著降低当期财务绩效。 相似文献

This study examines the association between the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance and firm risk in U.S. financial firms. We find a significant negative association between the composite ESG performance and total, idiosyncratic, and systematic risks after controlling for firm and year fixed effects and other risk predictors. We also examine the effect of each pillar of ESG on this relationship and find that “S” and “G” exhibit a significant negative relationship with both systematic and idiosyncratic risks of firms, while “E” is only associated with systematic risk. Lastly, we demonstrate that ESG performance is negatively associated with the extent to which leverage contributes to firm risk, supporting our premise that ESG alleviates financial risk. Overall, we provide empirical evidence of potential risk management benefits of ESG in the financial industry. 相似文献

This paper investigates whether, and how, firms’ corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance influences the auditor's assessment of the risk of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, at the financial statement level by analysing their pricing decision (i.e., audit fees). Using a panel data set of 12,330 firms from 28 countries over the period 2003–2012 and different measures of CSR performance, we find a U‐shaped relationship between firms’ CSR performance and audit fees. This result suggests that there is an optimal level of CSR performance that minimizes the auditor's assessment of the risk of material misstatement, which in turn lowers the need for greater auditor effort; that is why auditors charge firms significantly less when their CSR performance is at the optimal level. Finally, we also show that the optimal level of CSR performance varies with the degree of environmental dynamism, ownership concentration and leverage. 相似文献

社会责任报告及鉴证能否传递有效信号?——基于企业声誉理论的分析 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
本文依托企业声誉理论,以我国2008—2009年间沪深两市非ST上市公司为样本,通过检验企业社会责任报告及鉴证对社会责任表现与企业声誉两者关系的影响,分析我国企业社会责任报告及鉴证的信号传递作用。研究发现:企业社会责任表现能提升企业声誉;企业社会责任报告能有效传递社会责任表现的信息,增强社会责任表现与企业声誉之间的正向关系;企业社会责任报告鉴证并没有显著促进社会责任表现对企业声誉的作用。本文的研究结果显示,我国现有的企业社会责任报告鉴证尚无法提高企业社会责任表现和社会责任报告的可信度。本文最后对改善我国企业社会责任报告鉴证的质量提出了建议。 相似文献

In this study, we investigate the effect of regulation on banking sector performance in an emerging country context. Consecutive crises in the early 2000s led to three waves of reformist banking regulations in Turkey: (1) the banking sector restructuring program in 2002, (2) limitation of the full deposit insurance system in 2004, and (3) a corporate governance-related banking law in 2005. Results show that these actions had a positive effect on bank lending, asset quality, and profitability. Findings also support the view that the sequence and timing of banking reforms in Turkey acted as a shield against the global financial crisis of 2008. 相似文献

The legitimacy of audit technologies is inevitably linked to a knowledge base. Even though it has been pointed out that the agreements on how to measure and verify certain operations are only temporal, empirical studies on change in audit are rare. This paper reports a detailed empirical study of change in performance audit within social services in Sweden. The paper complements previous research since this paper is not about making new things auditable but about challenging existing technologies within a field. We observe how the new ‘sharp’ control‐based model – realized through measures of prioritizing, focusing and standardizing – was related to new demands on ‘facts’ about the audit object. The effect was that many things in this new situation became unauditable; they audited more, but actually scrutinized less. The paper also contributes to existing literature on the role of ‘sharp’ control‐based audit in the social sector. With a ‘soft’ and ‘fuzzy’ object, as is often the case in many parts of the public sector, it is difficult to produce hard, convincing evidence that holds true in different settings. 相似文献

We investigate the relationship between corporate and country sustainability on the cost of bank loans. We look into 470 loan agreements signed between 2005 and 2012 with borrowers based in 28 different countries across the world and operating in all major industries. Our principal findings reveal that country sustainability, relating to both social and environmental frameworks, has a statistically and economically impactful effect on direct financing of economic activity. An increase of one unit in a country's sustainability score is associated with an average decrease in the cost of debt by 64 basis points. Our international analysis shows that the environmental dimension of a country's institutional framework is approximately twice as impactful as the social dimension, when it comes to determining the cost of corporate loans. On the other hand, we find no conclusive evidence that firm‐level sustainability influences the interest rates charged to borrowing firms by banks. Our main findings survive a battery of robustness tests and additional analyses concerning subsamples, alternative sustainability metrics and the effects of financial crisis. 相似文献

This study examines whether corporate reputation affects derivative hedging. We posit that high-reputation firms are more likely to engage in hedging due to greater reputation costs and/or their commitment to lower financial risks. We find that high-reputation firms are more likely to engage in hedging, especially when their hedging efforts or effects are more observable to stakeholders. We also find that high-reputation firms are less likely to disclose the notional values of hedging positions and that interest rate hedging by high-reputation firms is detrimental to firm value. Our results shed light on the impact of reputational concerns on corporate risk management and disclosure policies. 相似文献

衍生产品使用对公司价值和业绩影响的实证检验 总被引:11,自引:1,他引:11
本文在回顾企业使用衍生产品相关理论的基础上,分析了中国上市公司使用衍生产品现状,并以深沪两市有色金属加工或生产行业上市公司为研究样本,实证检验中国上市公司使用衍生产品进行风险管理是否提高了公司价值和业绩,结果发现中国企业使用衍生产品并没有像西方理论所认为的那样可以提升公司价值,其原因在于国内企业使用衍生产品的负面影响抵消了其正面作用,所以无法起到提升公司价值的作用。在此基础上,文章提出了相关的政策建议。 相似文献

This paper investigates the impact of corporate sustainability and the consistency of corporate sustainability efforts on firm financial performance in Canada. Using data on 266 Canadian companies over the 2007–2017 period, we find a significantly positive association between corporate sustainability performance and firm financial performance. In addition, we find that companies that perform consistently well on sustainability (i.e., consistent performers) achieve better financial performance compared to inconsistent performers. Thus, far from their being net costs/expenses, our results indicate that corporate sustainability performance and consistency in sustainability performance both provide net benefits and significantly impact financial performance positively, implying that corporate sustainability not only helps address the needs of the current and future generations but also has a positive effect on the corporate bottom line. Taken together, our results suggest that not only does corporate sustainability have a positive effect on firm performance, but better financial performance may be achieved through a committed—rather than a “tokenism”—approach to corporate sustainability. 相似文献

Policy makers use financial sector strategies to formulate a holistic policy for the national financial system. This article examines and rates financial sector strategies around the world on how well they formulate development targets, arrangements for systemic risk management, and implementing plans. The strategies are also rated on whether they consider policy trade-offs between financial development and systemic risk management. The rated strategies are then benchmarked against a range of country characteristics. The analysis finds that the scope and quality of national strategies for the financial sector are systematically influenced by several country characteristics. Interestingly, policy trade-offs, particularly between financial development and systemic risk management, are not adequately considered in the strategies. 相似文献

Legal, administrative and economic considerations offer no compelling reason for the current tax advantage of debt finance in many countries. Instead, this ‘debt bias’ creates significant inequities, complexities and economic distortions. These are likely to be larger than previously thought, especially in the financial sector. To tackle debt bias, the most promising reform is to introduce an allowance for corporate equity, as some countries have successfully done. Its main obstacle is a budgetary cost, estimated at around 15 per cent of current revenue, on average for a selection of advanced economies. This cost can be reduced by granting the allowance only to new investment. The allowance could also be targeted to the financial sector and financed by special bank levies. 相似文献
