Corporate Governance and Firm Value (International Business and Management)

Corporate governance is a subject of high academic and practical significance in contemporary business. The book determines and analyzes the relationship between corporate governance and the value of a firm in emerging and developed financial markets by using sophisticated econometric methods and models. The results of the study show that corporate governance does matter - there is a positive relationship between corporate governance and the value of a firm in these financial markets, although the nature of these relationships differ between emerging and developed financial markets because of the individual characteristics of these markets. This book makes an original contribution by undertaking a very comprehensive comparative econometric study on the poorly researched topic of the relationship between corporate governance and firm value in emerging and developed markets.
