Corporate Governance and Firm Value: The Impact of the 2002 Governance Rules
研究2002年萨班斯-奥克斯利法案及交易所规则修订对企业价值的影响，发现合规程度低的企业获得正异常收益，但小企业却遭受损失。
ABSTRACT The 2001 to 2002 corporate scandals led to the Sarbanes–Oxley Act and to various amendments to the U.S. stock exchanges' regulations. We find that the announcement of these rules has a significant effect on firm value. Firms that are less compliant with the provisions of the rules earn positive abnormal returns compared to firms that are more compliant. We also find variation in the response across firm size. Large firms that are less compliant earn positive abnormal returns but small firms that are less compliant earn negative abnormal returns, suggesting that some provisions are detrimental to small firms.
