Improving the transparency of corporate information disclosure is a key principle of corporate governance in Taiwan. This study uses the information disclosure assessment system established by the information disclosure and transparency ranking system to explore whether information transparency can reduce the degree of mispricing. The study uses the data of 10,686 listed companies in Taiwan for the period from 2005 to 2014. We find that a higher information disclosure ranking (IDR) of rated companies corresponds to a more substantial reduction in the degree of mispricing. Moreover, we discover that product market competition affects mispricing in that smaller degrees of mispricing reflect greater exclusivity; this suggests that lower industry transaction and competition costs lead to less substantial mispricing. Finally, we observe that the effect of information disclosure score on the degree of mispricing is lower in more exclusive industries. Furthermore, a regression process using instrumental variables reveals that IDRs have the significant effect of reducing the degree of mispricing.

It has been recognized that data curation and governance can equip firms with the capability to generate sustainable knowledge. However, the antecedent and consequences of sustainable knowledge creation have not been systematically explored. The model in this study describes how sustainable knowledge creation enhances corporate information transparency, innovation, and financial and market performance. In addition, we also show how corporate data governance fosters sustainable knowledge creation among corporations listed in the Amman Stock exchange. Using survey data from (n = 180) publicly listed corporations and a judgmental sampling technique, we applied partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS–SEM). Results from PLS–SEM show that corporate data governance is a predictor for sustainable knowledge creation, and sustainable knowledge creation is also a predictor for corporate information transparency and innovative, financial, and market performance. The study offers guidelines for corporate managers to effectively manage and use corporate data responsibly to attain sustainable knowledge creation which in turn results in greater corporate performance and desired outcomes. Implications for practice and theory are discussed.

Information transparency is a popular topic in capital markets. A firms corporate governance policy, which influences its disclosure behavior and disclosure quality, influences the information transparency perceived in relation to that firm. It was previously understood that greater information asymmetry between investors and issuers/underwriters translates into a larger discount required to be offered in bond pricing by the issuing firm, to attract investors. In this paper, we numerically analyze: (a) the effect of the composition of the board structure on corporate information transparency under the code law system, and (b) the effect of information transparency on the initial return rate of convertible bonds. The results of our study revealed that the board structure affects corporate information disclosure policies under the code law system. Specifically, CEO duality tends to bring about lower information transparency, whereas better information transparency emanates from a higher proportion of independent directors. However, there is a lack of conclusive evidence to support the view that the shareholdings of directors and large shareholders are correlated with information transparency. We also show numerically that greater information transparency combined with lesser information asymmetry (between insiders and outsiders) leads to a lower initial return rate of convertible bonds.
