We document that the aftermarket P/E ratio has the most robust negative association with post-IPO stock returns. The negative relation indicates that the market corrects the aftermarket overvaluation of IPO firms in the long run. Underwriter reputation has a positive effect on post-IPO stock returns while board size has a negative impact, consistent with the views that reputable underwriters mitigate the information asymmetry in IPO pricing and over-sized boards reduce the effectiveness of corporate governance. However, we find little evidence indicating that the equity ownership structure is significantly associated with post-IPO stock returns.","PeriodicalId":343950,"journal":{"name":"Corporate Governance: International/Non-US eJournal","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134105243","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 focusing is to examine the voluntary and mandatory corporate governance models by comparing the prevailing corporate governance systems, pre-existing in several countries such as the US, Australia, Germany and Indonesia. The voluntary model means listed companies that might not abide by the principles but have to provide sufficient and reasonable arguments as to why it is not complying are protected against; while the latter is a model in which a listed company has to comply with the corporate governance code for avoiding penalties.The US employs the mandatory model; Australia, Germany and Indonesia apply the voluntary one.This paper suggests that the mandatory model is suitable to be implemented. The existing of corporate spivs and new hope of the Indonesian Corruption Eradication Commission are the article's central arguments to suggest employing the mandatory model.","PeriodicalId":343950,"journal":{"name":"Corporate Governance: International/Non-US eJournal","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127420759","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}
{"title":"Corporate Governance in China: Ownership Structures and the Performance of Listed Firms","authors":"Martin Hovey","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.904261","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.904261","url":null,"abstract":"This study investigates whether ownership structure has a significant effect on the performance of listed firms in China. It also investigates what level of Chinese institutional ownership may be the most advantageous. The results of the empirical analysis of firms listed on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges are reported in this paper. The most significant findings are that institutional ownership, through Legal Person holding companies, is found to have a positive bearing on listed firm performance. Similar results are found for individual investors, offshore ownership and foreign institutions, but to a lesser extent. Also of significance is that Legal Person holdings are found to have a non-linear relationship to performance in that the levels of Legal Person ownership are found to be a significant factor. Significantly, the findings suggest that Medium levels of Legal Person ownership are the most effective in improving firm performance. Other issues that are identified in the empirical analysis are that size is relevant, in that large firms are found not to perform as well as smaller firms. Leverage carries some weight also, as highly leveraged firms are found not to perform as well.","PeriodicalId":343950,"journal":{"name":"Corporate Governance: International/Non-US eJournal","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125740179","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}

First, we show that very little of this difference can be explained by more volatile fundamentals or by higher sensitivity to fundamentals. Second, we show that most of the difference in volatility can be accounted for by three characteristics of capital flows: (i) capital flows to emerging countries are more subject to occasional large negative shocks (“crises”) than those to developed countries, (ii) shocks are subject to contagion, and (iii) – the most important one – shocks to capital flows to emerging countries are more persistent than those to developed countries. Finally, we study a number of country characteristics to determine which are most associated with capital flow volatility. Our results suggest that underdevelopment of domestic financial markets, weak institutions, and low income per capita, are all associated with capital flow volatility.","PeriodicalId":343950,"journal":{"name":"Corporate Governance: International/Non-US eJournal","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128140285","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}

This, along with an analysis of the informational efficiency of selected markets in the region, provides a basis for the subsequent review of policies for enhancing the role of equity markets in the macroeconomy of Middle Eastern countries while minimizing associated risks.","PeriodicalId":343950,"journal":{"name":"Corporate Governance: International/Non-US eJournal","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123497749","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}
