对我国证券市场设立国际板的思考

随着我国证券市场国际化进程的加快,建立国际板是大势所趋。我国证券市场设立国际板没有管理、技术和法律上的障碍,而且已具备跨境监管能力等有利条件,但也存在各方利益目标不一致、圈钱风险、股市抽血和运行机制不畅等障碍因素,需要提前做好制度建设和规则制订,把对现有市场的冲击降到最低程度。     

The differential effects of CEO narcissism and hubris on corporate social responsibility

Research Summary: While prior studies have predominantly shown that CEO narcissism and hubris exhibit similar effects on various strategic decisions and outcomes, this study aims to explore the mechanisms underlying how narcissistic versus hubristic CEOs affect their firms differently. Specifically, we investigate how peer influence moderates the CEO narcissism/hubris—corporate social responsibility (CSR). With a sample of S&P 1500 firms for 2003–2010, we find that the positive relationship between CEO narcissism and CSR is strengthened (weakened) when board‐interlocked peer firms invest less (more) intensively in CSR than a CEO's own firm; the negative relationship between CEO hubris and CSR is strengthened when peer firms are engaged in less CSR than a CEO's own firm. Managerial Summary: Some CEOs are more narcissistic while others may be more hubristic, but these two groups of CEOs hold different attitudes toward the extent to which their firms should engage in corporate social responsibility (CSR). Our findings with a large sample of U.S. publically listed firms suggest that narcissistic CEOs care more about CSR, but hubristic CEOs care less. Interestingly, when narcissistic CEOs observe their peer firms engaging in more or less CSR than their own firms, they tend to respond in an opposite manner; in contrast, hubristic CEOs will only engage in even less CSR when their peers also do not emphasize CSR. Our findings point to a fundamental difference between CEO narcissism and hubris in terms of how they affect firms' CSR decisions based on their social comparison with peer firms.     

BS in the boardroom: Benevolent sexism and board chair orientations

Research Summary: Though research has focused on the ascent and acceptance of female CEOs, the post‐promotion circumstances female CEOs face remain unclear. In this study, we focus on a critical post‐promotion circumstance: the board chair–CEO relationship. Drawing on the gender stereotype literature, agency theory, and stewardship theory, we posit that firms appointing a female CEO are more likely to adopt a collaboration board chair orientation and less likely to adopt a control orientation. We further predict this effect is attenuated by female board representation. Using a sample of new S&P 1500 CEOs, we find support for our predictions regarding the collaboration orientation but not the control orientation. This research provides some evidence of benevolent sexism in the boardroom, with female directors acting as a countervailing influence. Managerial Summary: Whereas the notion that females encounter a glass ceiling on their path toward CEO is well documented, the conditions female CEOs encounter after promotion are less understood. The relationship between the board chair and the CEO is one important post‐promotion condition. Board chairs can focus on monitoring and/or working together with the CEO. We suggest board chairs are more likely to work in close collaboration with female CEOs than with male CEOs. We attribute this to benevolent sexism, which explains that board chairs are more likely to collaborate with female CEOs because they view females as more conducive to, and in need of, this type of relationship. We also suggest this benevolent sexism is less prevalent when there are more females on the board.

董事会内在特征与上市企业绩效 ——基于董事会资本与董事会独立性状态视角

以上市企业为样本,分析异质性股权混合对董事会资本的影响,以及董事会资本与企业社会经济效益、企业经营效益和企业经营效率的关系,将资源依赖理论与代理理论相结合,检验董事会独立性与董事会资本对企业绩效的交互效应。研究结果显示,异质性股权混合有助于提高董事会资本水平,董事会资本有助于企业经营效益和社会经济效益的提升,董事会独立性和董事会资本二者同时作为治理机制治理效果会互补加强,二者单独对企业经营效率无影响,而是通过交互效应间接改善企业经营效率。     

Gender equality's impact on female directors’ efficacy: A multi-country study

This paper studies the role of gender equality in female directors’ efficacy and its subsequent effects on firms. Female directors in more gender equal societies should possess greater skills and exert more influence due to better access to educational/professional opportunities and more amicable boardroom dynamics. Therefore, we hypothesize that gender equality serves as an important moderator in the relation between female board representation and firm outcomes. Using a multi-national panel comprising 1986 public firms from 24 countries or areas spanning from 2007 to 2016, we obtain results that firms with higher female board representation exhibit higher overall performance, less earnings management, and less excessive risk taking, in which all three relations are stronger in countries with greater gender equality. Taken together, our paper implies that the impact of female directors on firm outcomes depends on a country's overall level of gender equality.     

董事会治理结构对企业内部控制影响的实证研究——来自中国上市公司的数据

内部控制已成为现代企业不可少的重要管理手段。公司治理、规章制度、企业文化等都是影响和决定内部控制的力量,而作为公司治理核心的董事会治理结构是影响企业内部控制的重要因素。以2004-2008年度沪深两市的上市公司为样本,对董事会规模、董事素质、公司领导权结构、审计委员会的设置和独立董事所占比例等因素对我国企业内部控制的影响进行实证研究,结果表明：内部控制失效的公司,其独立董事人数较少一些 而出问题的公司,往往有一个较大规模的董事会以及两职兼任现象比较普遍。因此,良好的董事会治理结构将有助于建立健全企业内部控制,从而为企业内部控制制度的合理设计与有效执行提供经验支持。     

董事会特征与自愿性信息披露的相关性研究

以沪、深两市的上市公司为研究对象,对董事会特征与公司自愿性信息披露之间的相关性进行了理论分析和实证检验。研究结果表明,董事会规模、独立董事比例与上市公司自愿性信息披露正相关;第一大股东委派董事比例、董事长与CEO两职合一与上市公司自愿性信息披露负相关。     

董事会特征、高管激励与集团绩效——来自中国上市集团公司的经验证据

作为一个多法人联合体,企业集团的治理与单体企业不同.通过实证研究发现,中国上市集团公司的董事会规模并没有对集团绩效产生积极效应,独立董事也未能有效发挥监管职能;董事长与总经理两职合一与集团公司绩效负相关;合理有效的报酬制度与公平透明的股权激励环境有助于集团公司绩效的提高,而股权激励制度有待进一步完善.
