Abstract
Our study examines the impact of dual leadership on the company’s performance. We also investigate the moderating effects of board independence on duality and firm-performance relationship. The article uses a panel data framework, and the estimation has been carried out using system-generalized methods of moments. The results of our study postulate that dual leadership negatively influences firm performance; however, when the moderator, board independence, is introduced in the empirical model, it affects firm performance positively. We submit that the extensive and complete abolition of CEO duality by Indian regulators may require caution for Indian markets. JEL Codes: G34, L25, C33

The Journal of Emerging Market Finance is a forum for debate and discussion on the theory and practice of finance in emerging markets. While the emphasis is on articles that are of practical significance, the journal also covers theoretical and conceptual aspects relating to emerging financial markets. Peer-reviewed, the journal is equally useful to practitioners and to banking and investment companies as to scholars.
