The purpose of this studyis to determine the relationship between corporate governance and return on equity (ROE);to examine the relationship between corporate governance and return on assets (ROA); and to analyze the relationship between corporate governance and earnings per share (EPS). To achieve the objective of the study, Fixed and Random Effect Models were employed to analyze the data.The findings revealed a negligible relationship between corporate governance and firm performance. However, when the study is controlled for financial leverage and total assets, a significant relationship between corporate governance and firm performance has been found.The practical implication of the results is that listed firms in Palestine should pay significant attention on enhancing the application of CG principles, uphold and ensure the board’s commitment to its responsibilities, and ensure that adequate disclosure procedures are in place including the evaluation mechanism used for assessing the performance of the board.Based on the findings, the study recommends that listed firms in Palestine should pay significant attention on enhancing the application of CG principles so as to better protect shareholder rights; uphold and ensure the board’s commitment to its responsibilities; and ensure that adequate disclosure procedures are in place including the evaluation mechanism used for assessing the performance of the board, its committees, and individual directors. Likewise, improving good CG practice should offer investor safety, reduce risk investment and sustain positive relationships between the company and its stakeholders which could result in higher growth in stock costs. It also recommends to the Palestinian Capital Market Authority (PCMA) to issue a stricter enforcement of CG legislation with special measures to be taken against those evading them.

The Relationship

This study explores the influence of corporate governance practices in corporate boards on firm performance and draws insights on the relative importance for companies for fostering the development of governance mechanisms in business. The study examines 50 firms belonging to the benchmark index of the National Stock Exchange of India (NIFTY 50) and tracks them for over a five-year period. The study uses fixed and random effect econometric models to explore the relationship between corporate governance variables, and firm performance using both accounting returns (EVA, ROA and ROE) and market returns (MVA). The study finds that corporate governance variables significantly improve firm performance or value creation. Especially, multiple directorships, involvement of foreign institutional investors and increase in promoter holdings may significantly affect returns of the firm. The study suggests that it may be useful to foster better corporate governance practices and monitor linkages with firm performance as the effect is influenced by other control variables also.

The Relationship

This study examined the relationship between board size and firm performance using a sample of 110 non-financial listed firms on the Kuwait Stock Exchange (KSE) from 2009 to 2017 (9 years). Empirical tests were conducted using OLS and 2SLS regressions as well as two performance measures to control the issues of endogeneity and causality; the study found that board size negatively affected firm performance. Thus, a small board size is better for non-financial Kuwaiti listed firms, which is consistent with agency theory and the majority of previous studies conducted in developed and developing countries. However, the causality issue does exist. The study makes a number of contributions to the corporate governance literature—namely, it provides a good understanding of the relationship board size and firm performance. In addition, examining such variables without considering the issues of endogeneity and causality would lead to misleading results. Finally, this study provides clear evidence for regulators in Kuwait to design an optimal board size to improve listed firms.

The study independent variable is Intellectual Capital components (HCE, SCE and CEE). The dependent variable is firm performance which measured using ROA, ROE and Tobin’s Q. The study also utilized five control variables in order to help measure the relationship between Intellectual Capital and Firm Performance. In conclusion, the study found that the Intellectual Capital level tends to be higher with firms that have high performance. However, there is variation in the level across the sectors. Random effect regression model was incorporated; the results revealed that there is no significant impact of Intellectual Capital on firm’s operational performance (ROA). However, there is the significant positive impact of Human capital on financial performance (ROE).

The Indian corporate governance norms have been evolving over a period of time but limited number of studies have been undertaken with reference to corporate governance index (CGI) in the Indian context. The study aims to examine the relationship between CGI and firm performance. We construct CGI using important parameters of governance such as board structure, ownership structure, market for corporate control and market competition. Our panel data set comprises of listed firms and the estimation analysis has been carried out using random effects method. The study reveals significant positive relationship between CGI and firm performance metrics. CGI is an important and causal factor in explaining firm performance. The investors would also have positive perception about business firms maintaining high governance standards, thus reducing possible funding costs.
