Wong, Tianyu Zhang","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.2674780","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.2674780","url":null,"abstract":"Using textual analyses of 1.8 million articles, this paper examines whether the authoritarian government in China, despite its direct ownership and control of the press, manages to increase the diversity of corporate news through commercialization and conglomeration reforms. Through the creation of business newspapers, commercialization introduced market competition into the media market; conglomeration subsequently re-organized business and official newspapers from the same locale into a single news group. Our evidence shows that business newspaper articles are less politically biased than official newspaper articles, and this difference in the bias magnifies among conglomerated newspapers, with business newspapers showing a further reduction in political bias. Our results are robust to using a matched firm-month research design that examines the content of articles written about the same firm in the same month and a difference-in-difference approach to test for conglomeration effects. Corroborating evidence on the perceived informativeness of the news articles, as captured by absolute stock price response to article publication, follows a similar pattern. That is, the stock price response is stronger for business newspaper articles than official newspaper articles, and this difference is larger for conglomerated newspapers than non-conglomerated newspapers. The evidence suggests that commercialization can shift newspapers’ reporting incentives towards consumers’ preferences and attenuates state influence, even under state ownership and control. Also, conglomeration facilitates specialization and diversification, allowing business newspapers to focus on commercial objectives and official newspapers to concentrate on political goals. The combined evidence suggests the reforms allowed the government to successfully realign the newspaper industry to better fulfill its dual role as the government’s mouthpiece and an information institution supporting the market economy.","PeriodicalId":343950,"journal":{"name":"Corporate Governance: International/Non-US eJournal","volume":"158 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132412702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

India, where firms are largely organized as business groups, with stock pyramids and complex cross-ownership structures, presents a distinctive venue to study the presence of such conflicts. This paper tests if the principal-principal conflicts transpire in the form of risk aversion when Indian bidders seek to merge or acquire. We observe that Indian bidders resort to risk-aversion only when promoters have high cash flow rights, that is, when they hold a majority stake in the acquiring firm. We argue that in business group firms this happens due to ‘tunnelling distortion’, whereas in standalone firms, this occurs due to ‘portfolio concentration’.","PeriodicalId":343950,"journal":{"name":"Corporate Governance: International/Non-US eJournal","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130147032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We expect the smoothness of earnings to be positively related to the relative importance of credit providers in our setting. More importantly, we predict this relation to be more pronounced in regimes with higher bankruptcy and contract enforcement costs. Finally, we hypothesize that earnings smoothness is negatively related to the cost of debt of our sample firms. Our large-sample empirical evidence confirms our expectations. While the cross-sectional nature of our setting limits our potential to address endogeneity concerns and, thus, caution is required when interpreting our findings in a causal way, they are consistent with the accounting of European private firms being shaped by creditor incentives and with this link being moderated by the country-level efficiency of th...","PeriodicalId":343950,"journal":{"name":"Corporate Governance: International/Non-US eJournal","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115621120","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The banks are well capitalised and have strengthened their funding base, while non-performing loans continue to fall. All banks comfortably meet the new Basel III minimum capital requirements introduced at the start of the year. Core funding ratios are also well above the required level. The main threats to the financial system are the risks associated with growing imbalances in the housing market. The Reserve Bank has introduced a slew of measures to combat the same.Over the past six months the Reserve Bank has continued to enhance the prudential regulatory framework to strengthen the soundness of the New Zealand financial system. The Reserve Bank’s review of the prudential regime for non-bank deposit-takers was completed in September 2013, and several legislative amendments are proposed to ensure the regime is appropriately targeted. A review has been undertaken of the oversight regime for payment and settlement systems, and it is expected that powers will be strengthened in this area.","PeriodicalId":343950,"journal":{"name":"Corporate Governance: International/Non-US eJournal","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132790668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using the equity holdings of 35,665 foreign mutual funds from 30 countries for the period 1998–2009, we find evidence that appointing a Big 4 auditor is associated with the increased level of foreign mutual fund ownership in firms. Our results are robust when conditioned on firm-level information asymmetries, country-level information disclosure quality, and when employing the Enron–Andersen fiasco as the natural experiment. Furthermore, appointing Big 4 auditors is particularly important for firms to attract foreign capital during the 2008 global financial crisis.","PeriodicalId":343950,"journal":{"name":"Corporate Governance: International/Non-US eJournal","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126561270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We analyze several hypotheses for such decline and find that the decline, while robust to a variety of explanations, is related to the intensity of the market for corporate control in India.

It identifies three key relationships and issues therein. First, corporate governance framework defines the manner in which managers of infrastructure companies can be incentivised to demonstrate optimal performance so as to benefit shareholders and lenders. Second, the infrastructure sector in India is vulnerable to the ill-effects of related party transactions that put external or minority shareholders at a disadvantage compared to the insider shareholders or promoters, and this requires the imposition of checks and balances that monitor the impact of related party transactions to ensure fairness on all shareholder constituencies. Third, appropriate corporate governance mechanisms will minimise the adverse impact of infrastructure activity on stakeholders outside the industry, and also act as a driving force in the fight against corruption and in otherwise advancing public interest.","PeriodicalId":343950,"journal":{"name":"Corporate Governance: International/Non-US eJournal","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127133761","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
