Corporate Governance and Information Efficiency in Security Markets
研究公司治理特征(如创始家族董事和性别多元的董事会)是否影响市场对公司新闻的反应,为治理研究提供新视角。
Abstract This paper investigates a neglected topic in corporate governance research; namely, do governance characteristics affect the market reaction to news? The topic is important given the emphasis by governance regulations and codes of best practice on the need for greater transparency of corporate activities. For the first time in the corporate governance literature, we show that corporate governance characteristics (particularly the presence of founding family directors and gender diverse boards) affect the market reaction to company specific news. The results of the paper point to the analysis of the impact of governance characteristics on the market reaction to news being a new and complementary research agenda within corporate governance.
