The Impact

We investigate the effects of ownership structure, as an internal control mechanism of agency problem, on corporate governance. We focused specially on the impact of the size, number and type of blockholders on the performance and the risk-taking of the Tunisian listed companies during the period 2001-2004. The descriptive analysis highlights, absence of ownership-control discrepancy, high ownership concentration, low management stock-ownership and the presence of two or three large blockholders with significant difference of the block share size between the first and the other controlling shareholders. The main result of our study indicates that the presence of controlling shareholders affect performance and risk-taking and play an important role in corporate governance. However, we assume that the control contest of the leading shareholder is not conclusive but indicate a form of coalition and agreement effect to share private benefits.

Debentures are important financing resources for U.S. and Brazilian companies. The manner of securing a debenture can improve a company’s capital structure and maintain its ownership structure while diversify risk. Most credible companies have better opportunities because they implement good corporate governance practices that tend to provide instruments to ensure greater protection for their creditors. Motivated by this, our research makes a multi-case analysis of Brazilian and American companies with respect to the characteristics of their corporate governance mechanisms during security emission processes. The methodology is based on the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean index, a quantitative tool that was developed to measure governance and the internal control of risk levels. The results show differences in governance between these countries. Two possible causes of this difference are the market’s most selective characteristics and internationalization, which require Brazilian companies to adapt to global rules

To test the developed hypotheses, feasible generalized least square (FGLS) regression is applied.FindingsFindings suggest that a good corporate governance score strengthens the positive effect of the psychological bias (CEO overconfidence) on corporate sustainability performance while it fails to attenuate the negative effect of the cognitive bias (CEO hubris).Research limitations/implicationsThe research provides an overview of the impact of CEO personality traits on the corporate sustainability performance level in the European real estate sup-sector. As corporate governance can have a major impact to control these traits, the authors recommend European real estate companies to improve their corporate governance practices.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the existent literature this gap with two empirical novelties: (1) providing a novel insight into sustainability involvement using a sample of European real estate sup-sector and (2) investigating the moderating effect on the link between CEO psychological and cognitive biases and sustainability performance. This study provides empirical evidence that entrenchment problems arising from CEO hubris would not be mitigated by a good corporate governance practice.
