The Impact

Religious belief can affect individual’s behavior. It usually induces managers to be more risk averse, thereby mitigating the agency problem and positively influencing governance. This paper conducts an empirical study to analysis the effect of religious atmosphere on corporate governance. It could be figured out that strong religious atmosphere plays an active role in corporate governance. The stronger the influence of religious tradition on listed companies, the less likely the managers are to violate the rules. Through precepts and deeds, these religious traditions are passed on from generation to generation and have become a significant factor affecting human economic behavior.

Corporate Governance Codes

Although corporate governance codes have spread across the European Union and beyond, and are regularly revised and adapted to changing national and international expectations of investors and other stakeholders, some important questions have not yet been unanimously answered. Two of these ongoing debates are addressed in this chapter. First, where should the line be drawn between statutory provisions and corporate governance codes as an instrument of self-regulation? Second, what is the rationale behind the idea of independent directors? In particular, how should independence be understood in relation to board members: independent of the incumbent management and company or independent of a controlling shareholder? The chapter discusses both questions using the example of the German Corporate Governance Code.
