Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation consists of three essays focusing on corporate governance. The main goal of these studies is to contribute to a better understanding of the effectiveness of different corporate governance mechanisms. The first study explores the relationship between director expertise and performance following seasoned equity offerings (SEOs). In the short run, firms with financial experts have smaller offer discounts. The cumulative abnormal returns (CARs) following the equity issues are less negative for firms with financial, legal and joint expert directors. In the long run, expert directors continue to have a positive impact on stock price performance. In the case of firm operating performance, it seems to be better for firms with legal experts and joint experts. Overall, having financial experts and legal experts on the board seems to be significantly beneficial for firms while the results for joint expertise lack significance due to the small number of firms with joint experts. The second study focuses on identifying the most effective corporate governance attributes. This study uses a cross-sectional regression analysis to investigate which attributes have a significant effect on the market's reaction to the SEO announcements.The results show that among other corporate governance characteristics, the percentage of directors on the audit committee, board size, number of board meetings, audit committee size, average board age and average director tenure seem to be significantly related to market reaction. In the case of director expertise, market reacts more positively to SEO announcements by firms with legal experts or joint experts on their boards. The third study focuses on the impact of blockholder characteristics on earnings quality. Most of the studies in literature make the intrinsic assumption that blockholders are a homogeneous group. This study is one of the very few studies to acknowledge the heterogeneity of blockholders and attempts to understand the unexplained proportion of blockholder heterogeneity. Earnings quality is calculated using the FDD model of Lee and Masulis(2009) and it is regressed on various blockholder characteristics. The results show that earnings quality is lower for firms with market-driven and multilateral blockholders.

Book excerpt: The central issue of my dissertation is to explore the relationship between corporate governance and entrepreneurial finance by using data from the real world. I hold the belief that the key factor for economic growth and development is the match between human capital and financial capital. Such match depends on corporate governance, which is in turn determined by a region's political, legal and cultural environments.

Book excerpt: This dissertation consists of three essays on corporate governance. The first study investigates the relationships among corporate governance, firm characteristics and firm performance by focusing on the dynamic interactions between those variables. The main result is that corporate governance (as measured by the G-index) can be treated as an exogenous variable, as it leads to changes into the other variables, but is not affected by them.

Book excerpt: This thesis is comprised of three essays on corporate governance issues. The first essay focuses on how board members’ geographical diversity relates to financial reporting quality. In principle, it is often argued that diversity has a positive impact on a group’s decision-making and monitoring abilities. In governance matters, while the attention has recently been placed on gender diversity, diversity is in fact multi-dimensional and encompasses attributes such as gender but also experience, expertise, independence and origins. The results show that a local board is more successful in monitoring financial reporting quality. The first essay provides evidence that although regulators are encouraging the diversity of boards of directors in all aspects, they may not be aware that each dimension of diversity may have a different impact on the performance of directors. The second essay ponders how the presence of foreign directors on audit committees affects their effectiveness. The rules-based approach of Canadian regulators with respect to audit committee membership has caused many Canadian firms to nominate foreign directors on their audit committees, especially from the U.S. The second essay provides evidence that the nomination of foreign directors to a monitoring committee, mainly due to the requirements regarding audit committee membership, may have reverse outcomes on the quality of financial reporting, even though these directors may share many similarities with directors from the country in which they are sitting on a board and to which they are geographically close. The last essay looks at the effects of the adoption of a new set of accounting standards within a single national context, Canada, with different legal regimes (common law outside Quebec, code law within Quebec). The third essay offers evidence that the introduction of a new set of accounting standards may even result in a different level of financial reporting quality between firms, dependent on firm- and country- level governance mechanisms. Key words, Board of Directors, Geographical Diversity, Earnings Quality, Audit Committee, Foreign Directors, IFRS, Firm- level governance mechanisms, Country – Level Governance Mechanisms.
Download or read book Three Essays on Corporate Governance of Family Firms written by Tarek El Masri and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation is comprised of three essays on issues related to the corporate governance of family firms. The first essay explores how owners-managers of family firms conceptualize and define their firms. Understanding the essence of a family firm helps us better understand their governance and behaviour. This essay contributes to the family business literature by presenting the seven most important criteria in identifying a family business (Handler 1989; Shanker & Astrachan 1996), namely: family ownership, control, involvement, succession, long-term vision, founders' legacy, and extended family of employees. The essay also contributes a familiness measurement tool that can be used in future research aiming at better understanding the family firm. The second essay investigates how management control technologies are calibrated in accordance with the sometimes conflicting economic and noneconomic goals resulting from the dual identities of family firms. The results show that family firms calibrate pervasive management control technologies, such as calculative, family-centric or procedural controls to strengthen the business identity and reduce the family identity of their family business. In comparison, the minimal use, or perceived absence, of management control technologies suggest that it accentuates and fosters family identity. Hence, reverting to management control technologies becomes related in a unilateral way to the business identity of the firm, despite the dual control ambition of family firms. The third essay analyzes CEO and TMT compensation practices to identify patterns that can explain the gap between family firms and the pool of external highly qualified executives. The data analysis highlights a connection between the degree of family ownership, the composition of the BOD, and the identity of the CEO. The results also show that family firms rely more heavily on cash-based awards than on equity-based awards as a form of CEO and TMT compensation. Family firms are reluctant to use option-based rewards and the use of share-based awards is also kept at a minimum. Other evidence point towards a role that institutional ownership plays in restructuring the compensation packages of the TMTs at family firms. Keywords: Family Firms, Definition of Family Firms, Family Firm Identity, Management Control Technologies, Corporate Governance, Executive Compensation.
