上市公司董事会治理效应实证研究

本文以26家在沪、深两市上市的河南省上市公司作为样本研究董事会治理与公司绩效的关系。从董事会结构、董事会行为、董事会激励三个方面进行实证检验发现：董事会规模与公司绩效存在倒U型关系,但不显著;独立董事并没有起到实质性的作用;董事长与总经理两职是否分离并不影响公司绩效;年度董事会会议次数对公司绩效没有显著的影响;董事会成员的股份与薪酬对公司绩效产生显著影响;董事长的更换明显受到更换前一年度的公司经营绩效的影响。     

安徽省上市公司董事会治理与公司绩效关系的实证研究

以安徽省上市公司为研究样本,对董事会治理与公司绩效的关系进行实证分析,结果表明:适当的董事会规模、董事薪酬与董事持股比例对公司绩效有积极作用;独立董事比例、董事会领导权结构与董事变更对公司绩效影响不显著;过多的董事会会议不利于公司绩效的提高。     

董事会特征与公司过度投资相关性实证研究

董事会作为公司内部治理机制的重要组成部分,对公司的投资行为有重要影响.本文以沪深上市公司为研究样本,实证检验了董事会四方面特征对公司过度投资的影响,结果发现,董事会会议频率、董事会领导结构与过度投资存在显著正相关;董事会规模、独立董事比例与过度投资不存在显著相关性.     

董事会结构与公司治理绩效的实证分析

独立董事制度为公司的权益资本和管理雇佣契约提供了更为安全的治理措施。但分析表明,那种认为董事会独立性越强,公司治理效率越好的想法是不恰当的。信息获取能力的约束以及非执行董事和执行董事之间的博弈水平使得董事会结构与公司治理绩效之间存在显著倒U型关系。     

董事会特征与债务成本关系研究——以广东省上市公司为例

董事会作为公司治理内部核心机制之一,在公司治理当中一直是一个重要的决策和监督机构。董事会是否对公司债务成本存在影响,国内学者研究的比较少。首先详细分析了关于董事会特征和债务成本关系的理论观点,然后以广东省A股上市公司为研究样本,以2008年为数据窗口,实证分析了董事会四个特征:董事会规模、独立董事比例、董事持股比例、董事长与总经理两职合一与公司债务成本之间的关系。研究结果表明:董事会规模与公司经营绩效呈倒U型的曲线关系;独立董事比例与公司绩效之间存在显著的负相关关系;两职合一与公司绩效存在显著的正相关关系;董事持股比例与公司绩效之间不存在显著的相关关系。实证结果表明广东上市公司董事会制度仍需改进。     

风险投资会提高新创公司的董事会社会资本吗?北大核心CSSCI

帮助新创公司提高董事会治理有效性是风险投资提供的重要"价值增值"服务之一。但现有文献主要是从监督职能出发研究风险投资对新创公司董事会独立性的影响。根据企业生命周期理论与资源依赖理论,对于新创公司而言,董事会的资源提供职能更为关键,而董事会社会资本是履行资源提供职能的重要基础。文章实证探讨了风险投资进入对新创公司董事会社会资本的影响关系,以及风险投资机构特征在这一关系中扮演的角色。研究结果表明:第一,风险投资的进入有利于提高新创公司的董事会社会资本;第二,非外资背景、国有背景、非联合投资和进入时间较早的风险投资对董事会社会资本的提高作用更为显著。文章拓展了公司治理、创业投资等领域的研究视角。     

CEO任期、董事会治理与绩效强制变更敏感性

本文以2010-2014年我国沪深A股主板上市公司以及在此期间的1341例CEO变更事件为初始研究样本,采用Logit模型和OLS模型研究CEO任期对公司绩效与CEO强制变更敏感性的影响,并从董事会治理视角,进一步说明敏感性发生变化的原因。研究发现,任期是识别CEO能力的重要标识,随着CEO任期逐渐延长,绩效与CEO强制变更的敏感性、以及董事会的监督力度均显著降低,董事会治理机制能够反映股东监督CEO并获取相关信息的需求。     

基金网络关系强度与公司非效率投资

本文以我国2012—2017年持有A股上市公司的公募基金为样本,研究基金网络关系强度对公司非效率投资的影响。研究发现,基金网络关系越强,越有可能导致公司的非效率投资行为,且该现象在短期持股基金样本组中更显著。进一步研究表明,股票错误定价在基金网络关系强度与公司非效率投资之间发挥了中介作用,即较强的基金网络关系加剧了股票市场的错误定价,导致了公司非效率投资行为的产生;公司内部治理机制的完善和信息透明度的提高,能够缓解较强的基金网络关系对公司非效率投资的不利影响。本文的研究在一定程度上拓展了社会网络理论在基金信息效应领域的应用,相关研究结论可为监管层引导基金投资行为提供有益参考。     

基于政治关联的国有企业董事会结构与公司治理效率分析

本文以我国地方控股国有上市公司为研究样本,实证研究检验了公司与政府之间的政治关联对公司董事会结构和公司治理效率的影响。研究发现我国国有公司的政治关联水平对董事会结构存在显著的负面影响,政治关联主要通过影响地方控股国有上市公司董事会的"人文结构"特征而弱化公司治理的效率。     

内部控制、公司治理与盈余质量的研究综述

文章从我国上市公司内部控制信息披露发展现状分析入手,首先梳理了国内外关于内部控制与盈余质量的研究现状以及内部控制质量对企业盈余管理行为的影响,并总结了学者们的主要观点;其次梳理了国内外关于公司治理与企业盈余质量的研究,并从董事会规模与审计委员会的设置这两个角度分析了公司治理的情况对企业盈余管理程度的抑制作用。文章的意义在于,为以后关于研究这三者关系的实证论文奠定了理论基础。     

Acquisition experience, board characteristics, and acquisition behavior

Literature on acquisition places more concern on the consequence of an acquisition event and pays less attention to what factors influence the motive for initiating the acquisition strategy of a firm. Through the lenses of organizational learning and corporate governance theories, the study examine whether the prior acquisition experience and board characteristics affect firms' acquisition behavior. Hypotheses are tested on a sample of 92 acquisition events of Taiwanese electronics firms during the period from 1997 to 2007 by employing the survival function model. Empirical results indicate that business acquisition experience positively influence the inclination of the acquirer adopting a subsequent acquisition, while board characteristics do not relate to the likelihood of the acquirer making a subsequent acquisition. These findings provide theoretical and managerial implications for organizational learning and corporate governance theories in general and acquisition management in particular.     

上市公司治理及其对会计信息质量的影响研究

公司治理机制与会计信息质量两者密不可分、相互影响。公司治理机制能否有效运行取决于会计信息质量的高低,会计信息的有效性保证了公司治理机构的有效运行。会计信息质量被许多因素所牵制,但其根本原因在于公司治理结构存在问题。上市公司应对股权结构进行改革,充分发挥各层股东对公司经营层的监督作用;加强董事会功能,保证董事会的独立性,,增加独立董事在公司的比重,加强董事会的战略管理能力和责任范围;改进股东大会投票表决制度,促进股权改革的多元化,避免大股东全权控制的现象,扩大被选举对象范围,完善实施细则,保障累积投票制度的能够贯彻落实;加强监事会建设,明确监事会的权利义务,将监事会与独立董事的权利范围合理划分。     

Trust,authentic pride,and moral reasoning: a unified framework of relational governance and emotional self‐regulation

This conceptual article introduces behavioral perspectives into the governance arena and undertakes a psychological assessment of managerial decision making in organizations by elaborating on the treatment of trust and (authentic and hubristic) pride in the extant literature. While trust is conceived by governance scholars as a device for monitoring relationships with others, we argue that authentic pride, contrary to hubris, could operate as an attribute of emotional self‐regulation allowing corporate leaders to govern the social behavior of their own self. Contrasting the features of trust and authentic pride, we advance several propositions to capture their relevance and simultaneous importance as viable governance mechanisms in light of a manager's level of cognitive moral reasoning. Our study builds a unified theoretical framework of governance which integrates human agency, psychological states, and moral judgment to foster a deeper understanding of complex self‐regulatory processes that are activated by decision makers in the execution of their roles.     

How Does Legitimacy Operate in Emerging Capital Markets? Investigating the Moderating Effects of Premium Listings and Firm Size on Risk

Drawing on an institutional theoretical perspective, we investigate the impact of the origins of organizational legitimacy on systematic risk using a sample of 358 Brazilian companies between the years 2002 and 2007. We regard three origins of legitimacy—formal–regulatory (presence in premium listings), cultural–cognitive (board of directors), and normative legitimacy (reputation)—to empirically investigate how a company's size and adherence to premium lists moderate other sources of legitimacy. Our results indicate that only under apparently better quality corporate governance conditions—presence in premium listings—do corporate reputation and the board of directors reduce systematic risk. In addition, we show that the effect of reputation on risk is positively moderated by firm size. Copyright © 2018 ASAC. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Corporate Governance and Firm Value: The Impact of Corporate Social Responsibility

This study investigates the effects of internal and external corporate governance and monitoring mechanisms on the choice of corporate social responsibility (CSR) engagement and the value of firms engaging in CSR activities. The study finds the CSR choice is positively associated with the internal and external corporate governance and monitoring mechanisms, including board leadership, board independence, institutional ownership, analyst following, and anti- takeover provisions, after controlling for various firm characteristics. After correcting for endogeneity and simultaneity issues, the results show that CSR engagement positively influences firm value measured by industry-adjusted Tobin’s q. We find that the impact of analyst following for firms that engage in CSR on firm value is strongly positive, while the board leadership, board independence, blockholders’ ownership, and institutional ownership play a relatively weaker role in enhancing firm value. Furthermore, we find that CSR activities that address internal social enhancement within the firm, such as employees diversity, firm relationship with its employees, and product quality, enhance the value of firm more than other CSR subcategories for broader external social enhancement such as community relation and environmental concerns.     

Board Meeting Attendance by Outside Directors

Outside directors’ regular board meeting attendance is important in improving the effectiveness of a governance system. Such attendance is evidence of their commitment to the firm as key other players in monitoring and decision making. Using a unique dataset for Korean firms, and three-level random coefficients models, we find that, foreign outside directors, an independent appointment process, professional knowledge of business operations and accumulated firm-specific knowledge are important factors that affect outside directors’ attendance of board meetings. The results also confirm that both outside directors’ personal characteristics and the social context are crucial in understanding their board meeting attendance. Further analysis shows that a positive corporate environment that supports the outside director system encourages outside directors’ attendance at board meetings.     

Board participation,toeholds and the cross-border effect

Research shows that the bid announcement return (BAR) of the acquiring firm is lower for cross-border than domestic acquisition announcements. The current lack of economically based explanations for this effect, labeled the cross-border effect by Moeller and Schlingemann (2005), motivates our study. We use unique hand-collected corporate governance data to study how the relationships between acquiring and target firms prior to a bid announcement affect the cross-border effect. Our tests show that non-operating associations between the acquiring and target firms, in the form of board participation and toeholds, have a positive effect on the BAR. The cross-border effect disappears when we control for board participation and toeholds. Thus, we suggest that the cross-border effect is at least partly a consequence of information asymmetries and the adverse selection problem that they generate.     

独立董事选用与盈余管理监控有效性分析

作为我国公司治理机制的重要组成部分,独立董事制度的有效性对制约公司盈余管理行为至关重要,如果独立董事是自愿性选用的,董事会的独立性就会降低盈余管理;如果独立董事是强制性选用的,董事会的独立性程度较高与较低的盈余管理是不相关的。因此,董事会的独立性可以有效地监控盈余管理,但监控扭曲了独立董事的市场环境,这会导致治理机制失效。所以,我国监管机构通过不断完善公司治理机制,以应对国际金融市场不断反复的波动和冲击。     

从股东会中心主义到董事会中心主义——现代公司法人治理结构的发展与变化

传统公司治理结构中董事会被定位于向股东会负责的下属性机构,但随着社会经济的发展,股东会中心主义的公司治理结构呈现出不符合实际需要的弊端.现代公司法的发展趋势是公司权力重心从股东会中心主义向董事会中心主义的转移,因为后者更能满足公司规模扩大和资本市场发展所提出的专业化和效率化的需求.这一变化趋势对公司法研究者和立法者的启示是公司董事的内涵和责任需要适当扩大、公司监管的重点应当做出相应调整.
