Former Government Officials as Outside Directors: The Role of Human and Social Capital
研究前联邦政府官员的人力资本与社会资本的深度、广度和衰减如何影响其获得企业外部董事职位的机会，帮助理解哪些官员更受企业青睐。
The resources that individual directors bring to corporate boards are largely a function of their human and social capital. Although research has explored the value of having former federal government officials join boards, we study factors that make one particular former government official more, or less, attractive as a director than another. Specifically, we explore the depth, breadth, and deterioration of former government officials' human and social capital and find that these dimensions of human and social capital are influential predictors of corporate outside directorships.
