Longitudinal Dataset

This article studies the gender composition of corporate boards of Russian companies, including its relation to company performance. The analysis is based on a unique longitudinal dataset of virtually all Russian companies whose shares were traded on the stock market in 1998-2014. It shows a relatively small representation of women, just 12% of all the seats, while about 40% of the companies did not have any female director. At the same time, both the share of companies that appoint female directors and the share of female directors on boards show a clear upward trend. The econometric analysis suggests a positive link between the presence of female directors on boards and company performance, especially when firms appoint several, rather than one, female directors.

According to many business publications, firms that experience information security breaches suffer substantial reputational penalties. This paper examines incidents in which confidential information, for a firms customers or employees, is stolen from or lost by publicly traded companies. Firms that experience such breaches suffer statistically significant losses in the market value of their equity. On the whole, the data indicate that these losses are of similar magnitudes to the direct costs. Thus, direct costs, and not reputational penalties, are the primary deterrents to information security breaches. Contrary to many published assertions, on average, firms that lose customer information do not suffer reputational penalties. However, when firms lose employee information, we find significant reputational penalties.

Free Cash Flows

This research analyzes the relationship between free cash flows (FCFs) and the different levels of Corporate Governance present in the Brazilian stock market. To this end, the sample was composed of 212 Brazilian publicly traded companies listed on Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão [B]³, in the period from 2010 to 2018. The methodology consisted of estimating a regression for panel data, using the random effects model, estimating by generalized least square (GLS) and assuming adjustments for autocorrelation and robust standard errors for heteroscedasticity. The results found, for the sample studied, suggest that Corporate Governance levels are positively related to the FCFs. In synergy, when compared to the Traditional level of [B]³, companies listed on the Novo Mercado and Level 2 levels tend to present higher FCF values. In addition, the larger the size of the companies and the higher their return on equity, the higher their FCFs tend to be, just as companies in stages of maturity tend to present lower FCF values. The relevance of this research is based on analyzing, in a stock market subject to imperfections, factors that may affect decisions about the level of cash maintenance of companies, more specifically by evaluating how Corporate Governance mechanisms relate to the theory of FCFs, in a context of potential conflict of interest.

Security Incidents

Data security incidents are continually increasing; hackers, governments, and other actors increasingly attempt to gain unauthorized access to confidential data. Information Systems (IS) users are becoming more vulnerable to the risks of data breaches. Many stakeholders perceive cybersecurity incidents as indicators of firms' operational and technological internal deficiencies. Previous research has revealed that investors react negatively to data breaches, yet little is known about investors' reactions to material data security incidents. Using a sample of 232 data security incidents for 132 publicly traded companies in the United States, we applied an event study methodology to discern investors' reactions to material versus immaterial incidents. We also use multivariate regression and time-to-event analysis to examine what determines the degree of investors' reactions, considering several intervals around the event day. Our results show that investors perceive material data security incidents as a deficiency of breached companies in comparison to immaterial incidents.

Há uma suposição generalizada de que a menor tributação das empresas levará a taxas mais elevadas de criação de emprego, mas essa crença pode ser falsa, como desafiado por Anderson e Pizzigati (2017). Este artigo estuda a relação entre criação de emprego e três proxies de agressividade fiscal em empresas brasileiras não financeiras listadas no B3, no período entre 2011 e 2016. As estimativas foram realizadas utilizando-se os métodos de mínimos quadrados ordinários (OLS) e a regressão quantil. Os resultados obtidos a partir das estimativas utilizando o OLS não apresentaram evidências significativas de associação entre a taxa de criação de emprego e taxas efetivas de impostos. Nas regressões quantil, foi possível encontrar uma relação significativa e positiva entre a criação de emprego e taxas efetivas de impostos, exclusivamente no Quantil 25 da alíquota efetiva de imposto sobre o valor acrescentado. Quantiles 50 e 75 apresentaram relações negativas entre a criação de emprego e taxas efetivas de impostos em diferentes métricas de agressividade tributária. Os resultados sugerem que o perfil de agressividade fiscal da empresa influencia a relação. Enquanto nas empresas menos agressivas fiscalmente a redução da carga tributária potencialmente estimularia a criação de emprego, naquelas mais agressivas fiscalmente a redução de impostos pode levar ao efeito indesejável de uma queda na criação de emprego.

Our study adopts a reliable and widely acknowledged model to detect accounts manipulation in order to assess the impact of the financial crisis on Italian and Spanish listed companies’ propensity to manage their earnings. The analysis is conducted on 565 publicly traded companies on the Italian and Spanish financial markets during the time period 2005-2013. We find a lower propensity to manipulate earnings in both countries during the pre-crisis period (2005-2008) as suggested by a decrease in the number of high-risk manipulators until 2008 included. With the spread of the financial crisis, companies become more manipulators. We believe that the reason for this is to avoid giving bad news to markets, investors, and lenders after that the crisis may have impacted too negatively on firms’ performance indicators and financial equilibrium. Our empirical results provide various implications for further studies related to managements’ incentives concurrently with security offerings.

Governance Practices

This paper aims to study the influence of Corporate Governance practices in the institutional decision to invest. It was developed a Governance Index (iGov), a descending rank was prepared and a test was applied to check if the companies in the first 25% of this rank have the highest number of institutional investors among their biggest investors than the companies of the last 25%. For the validation of IGov it was tested if the companies with the best marks present highest Returns, lowest Capital Cost, highest Market Value, and highest Competiveness within the sector, lowest Beta, highest EVA® and lowest Share concentration. It has been proved that the best Corporate Governance practices do not have any statistical relation with the presence of more Institutional Investor.

The Capital Structure

The purpose of the present research is to identify whether the capital structure of the Brazilian listed companies is influenced by the capital concentration level. The sample comprises 104 Brazilian publicly traded companies listed on the BM&FBOVESPA, totaling 1,258 observations for annual data in the period from January 1st, 2008 to December 31st, 2014. By using panel data analysis and taking into account the control variables identified as relevant in the literature, the main results show that (i) capital concentration has a positive relation with market indebtedness and with long-term net debt to market equity; (ii) the variables size, volatility, profitability and tangibility, highlighted in the theoretical archetype, evidence a significant influence on long-term debt to market equity and book equity, and (iii) there are no findings and/or inferences that net debt to EBITDA may bring implications for shareholders´ capital concentration. For future studies, suggestions are: i) to increase observations of Brazilian privately held companies; ii) to compare the results obtained with the capital structure of other countries, and iii) to highlight and relate other variables in the literature which are not addressed by the present research.
