Purpose The center of concern of this empirical paper is the connection between chief executive officer (CEO) characteristics and firm performance. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach The paper inquires into the hypothesis on the relationship between CEO characteristics (demographic and professional) and accounting measures of firm value. The study is based on second-hand information comprising of Nifty 500 firms for a period of five years ranging from 2012 to 2016. Panel regressions are run on the final sample composed of 1,535 observations to test the hypothesized relationship. Findings The stated findings specify that long-tenured CEOs and firms led by female CEOs are negatively related to firm performance. Moreover, the authors find that the greater the CEO share ownership, higher the firm performance stands. Further, duality and foreign CEOs make a significant contribution when firm value is based on ROA. Results also show that CEO outside directorships have a noteworthy positive relationship with ROE. Research limitations/implications The findings are limited to non-financial listed companies of the index. Future research can also experiment with financial and unlisted companies to have a different perspective. Practical implications The study may provide worthwhile insights to shareholders as they largely seek to hire the most capable CEOs with the relevant combination of skills to achieve shareholders’ goals and improve the Indian competitive power in the global market. Originality/value This paper provides a comprehensive picture by inculcating different CEO traits especially in a progressing nation like India with a unique set of economic, political and cultural environment.

This paper aims to investigate the network structure of connectedness among global index futures markets in different distress periods. In this purpose, this employs the multivariate DECO-GARCH model of Engle and Kelly (2012) and the spillover index method of Diebold and Yilmaz (2014). From empirical analysis, this paper finds an evidence of a positive equicorrelation among global index futures, implying the contagion effect in global index futures markets. The spillover connectedness is intensified due to recent market distress, i.e., the 2008-2009 GFC, the 2010-2012 ESDC, the collapse of Chinese stock market in 2015, and the US FRB interest rate hike in 2018. Further, this paper measures the direction and strength of volatility connectedness assessed by the net pairwise directional spillover indexes. Thus this paper identifies the net spillover connectedness (transmitter/receiver) across global index futures markets. Finally, this paper shows the network structure of spillover connectedness in different market distress periods, and provides the channels of spillover connectedness across global index future markets.

We investigate the impact of stock index futures on the information environment of listed firms through the launch of Shanghai-Shenzhen 300 stock index futures (CSI 300 index) as natural experiment on April 16, 2010. We employ difference in difference analysis and apply the PIN indicator (the probability of informed trading) to measure information asymmetry. We found that the CSI 300 index significantly reduce the information asymmetry of CSI 300 companies. For the companies with higher market capitalization, higher turnover rate and higher institutional investor’s rate, the impact of stock index future on the corporate information environment is more significant. The results of this paper provide new evidence for evaluating the impacts of Chinese stock index futures.
