The scope of this paper is to connect these social and economic factors and to show on the one hand the expected benefits from a single market and on the other the chaotic difficulties emerging from its implementation in many member countries. The Covid-19 pandemic highlighted weaknesses in the functioning of the European Single Market. It is worth mentioning the fact that the Services Directive is the most important step towards achieving a Single Market as it ensures that both service providers and recipients of services can more easily benefit from fundamental freedoms of the European Union, such as freedom of establishment and freedom to provide services to cross-border level.","PeriodicalId":360263,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Administration and Governance","volume":"139 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116606801","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 study applies a meta- regression technique developed by Stanley and Jarrell (1989) to a sample of 32 empirical studies published between 2011 and 2020. The study findings reveal that the financial crisis variable, region of the study variable, and weighting of the dependent variable significantly affect study results of the original empirical researches. Moreover, the most important and robust determinants of corporate disclosure in emerging markets are board independence and foreign listing status. Study findings also indicate that firm size, which is identified by most empirical studies to be a significant and most robust determinant of corporate disclosure, to be insignificant in this meta-regression study. This study will help to resolve the ambiguity that has existed over the past decade in literature as to which factors are really important in voluntary corporate disclosure practices in emerging countries.
