Our paper investigates the relationship between corporate governance (internal corporate governance mechanism) and announcement returns of spinoff firms, and examines whether such relationship can be explained by product market competition (external corporate governance mechanism). Using a sample of 269 completed spinoffs between 1983 and 2009, we find a nonlinear U-shaped relationship between corporate governance and the cumulative abnormal return around the announcement period. Moreover, we find that such a nonlinear relationship hinges on the level of competition in the market in which the spinoff firms operate. Specifically, we find that weak governance firms experience higher announcement period return only in highly competitive industries, while strong governance firms exhibit higher announcement period return, but only in moderately competitive industries. Our findings reconcile the mixed results in the literature regarding the relationship between corporate governance and firm value by examining the effect of product market competition on this relationship. Our results highlight the importance of product market competition as a moderator between corporate governance and the announcement period return of the spinoff firms.

The Relationship

The objective of this research is to find out the moderating effect of corporate governance on the relationship of corporate social responsibility and product market competition to company value. The control variable in this study is company size. The sample of this study was 216 observations consisting of 54 manufacturing companies listed in the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2016 until 2019. Moreover, the simple random sampling method is employed to grab them. To analyze the data, we use the multiple regression model with polling data. The findings of this research are product market competition negatively affects company value. In opposition, corporate social responsibility and  corporate governance positively affect company value. Meanwhile, corporate governance only moderates the effect of product market competition on the company value. The implication of this study is that good corporate governance practices can reduce the negative effects of PMC on company value.

The Relationship

Our study empirically examines the relationship between corporate governance mechanism and their interactions on the firm value. We concentrated on the banking industry in Indonesia and Malaysia given that majority of the literature are primarily focused on the non-financial industry due to stringent regulation on disclosure in the financial banking counterparts. We measure firm’s value using Tobin’s q, while corporate governance mechanisms comprised of independent directors, the presence of audit committee, the institutional ownership as well as the percentage of female directors on the board. Using 48 observations during the year 2016-2018, our result exhibit that there is a significant positive association between audit committee independence and firm value. Moreover, we also reported a negative link between board independent and the presence of female directors on the firm value. In respect to our interaction effects, we found that there is a complementary relationship between (i) audit committee independent and board independent and (ii) female directors and audit committee independent and firm value. Moreover, our regression also reported a significant substitutive relationship between (i) female directors and institutional ownership (ii) female directors and board independent as well as (iii) audit committee independent and institutional ownership and firm value. In contrary to the findings from the western counterpart, our result shows that the presence of female directors reduce firm value, thus suggesting that the role of female directors have been impaired due to the cultural aspect of the society.

Country Level

International research has firmly established that a substitute relationship exists between corporate governance and product market competition on firm value. In this study, I reexamine this substitution effect in an international setting, allowing the relation to vary with investor protection. As hypothesized, I find that investors place a higher value on the substitution effect of corporate governance and product market competition in countries where the legal and regulatory mechanisms to protect investors are weak. This finding suggests that country-level investor protection has a moderating role in affecting the substitution between product market competition and corporate governance on firm value. These results, which are robust to several sensitivity tests and alternative specifications, are consistent with an equity agency cost benefit, resulting from product market competition and corporate governance, which is valued more by investors where investor protection is weak.

The Board Of Directors

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of product market competition and corporate governance on firm’s management performance in the Tehran Stock Exchange market. According to the research literature, the governance mechanisms used in this study consist of ownership structure, structure of the board of directors and capital structure. In addition, Herfindahl–Hirschman Index and market size were used to measure the product market competition. Design/methodology/approach This study used one selected sample among the firms in the capital market of Iran from 2004 to 2012. Findings The results of this study indicated that there is a significant relation among the major governance mechanisms (including ownership concentration, independence of the board of directors and debt ratio) and product market competition and management performance. The findings of this study also showed that product market competition is effective on the relation between corporate governance and the performance, and this is what has been ignored in most of the conducted studies. Originality/value In general, the results of this study supported the idea that product market competition is effective on implementation and efficiency of governance mechanisms.

The Relationship

Corporate governance is considered to have significant impact on the growth and development perspective of an economy. Sound corporate governance practices leads the economy towards the achievement of higher performance, provide sources for capital investment by increasing the creditability of shareholders. The purpose of this study is to empirically investigate the relationship of corporate governance and firm performance in terms of accounting as well as market performance i.e.to be measured by Return on asset, Return on equity and Tobin’s Q. The theoretical base to conduct the study is the demand of separation of ownership and control characterize as agency theory. The previous studies have yielded inconsistent result. To achieve the purpose 58 textile sector companies were selected listed in the Karachi stock exchange and data was taken from annual reports of the companies for the period of 2009 to 2013. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and regression estimation using pooled, fixed effect, random effect and Hausman specification test were carried out after developing a composite index based on 21 proxies. The result entails that corporate governance index (CGI) and firm performance has positive and significant association but the relationship for each specific index is dependent upon the measure of firm performance. The result also shows that companies having strong corporate governance mechanism has greater chances to acquire finance. The implication of study demands that the reform effort should be directed towards the improvement in internal corporate governance mechanism and regulatory framework for the governance system.
