Social Capital: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly 《社会资本:好、坏、丑
Pub Date : 2009-01-20 DOI: 10.2139/SSRN.186928
P. Adler, Seok-Woo Kwon
A growing number of sociologists, political scientists, economists, and organizational theorists have invoked the concept of social capital in their search for answers to a broadening range of questions confronting their own fields. Seeking to clarify the concept and help assess its utility for organizational theory, this paper synthesizes the theoretical research undertaken in these various disciplines and develops a common conceptual framework that identifies the sources, benefits, and risks of social capital.
越来越多的社会学家、政治学家、经济学家和组织理论家在寻找他们各自领域面临的越来越广泛的问题的答案时,引用了社会资本的概念。为了澄清这一概念,并帮助评估其对组织理论的效用,本文综合了这些不同学科的理论研究,并开发了一个共同的概念框架,以确定社会资本的来源、利益和风险。

Sharing of Control as a Corporate Governance Mechanism 控制权共享作为公司治理机制
Pub Date : 2005-02-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.277111
Armando Gomes, Walter Novaes
This paper identifies a new corporate governance mechanism: sharing control. We show that bargaining problems among multiple controlling shareholders may prevent inefficient investment decisions that harm minority shareholders. The same bargaining problems may block efficient investment decisions, though. By solving this trade-off, we show that the likelihood that shared control is efficient increases with three firm characteristics: overinvestment problems, the cost of verifying cash flows, and financing requirements. The model provides testable implications for the role that large shareholders play in corporate governance, contrasting shared control and monitoring as alternative governance mechanisms.
本文提出了一种新的公司治理机制:共享控制权。研究表明,多控股股东之间的议价问题可以防止损害中小股东利益的低效投资决策。不过,同样的讨价还价问题可能会阻碍有效的投资决策。通过解决这种权衡,我们表明共享控制有效的可能性随着三个企业特征的增加而增加:过度投资问题、验证现金流的成本和融资需求。该模型为大股东在公司治理中所扮演的角色提供了可检验的含义,并将共享控制和监督作为替代治理机制进行了对比。

Too Busy to Mind the Business? Monitoring by Directors with Multiple Board Appointments 忙得顾不上生意?由多个董事会任命的董事监督
Pub Date : 2002-06-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.167288
A. Pritchard, Stephen P. Ferris, Murali Jagannathan
We examine the number of external appointments held by corporate directors. Directors who serve larger firms and sit on larger boards are more likely to attract directorships. Consistent with Fama and Jensen (1983), we find that firm performance has a positive effect on the number of appointments held by a director. We find no evidence that multiple directors shirk their responsibilities to serve on board committees. We do not find that multiple directors are associated with a greater likelihood of securities fraud litigation. We conclude that the evidence does not support calls for limits on directorships held by an individual. Copyright 2003 by the American Finance Association.
我们研究了公司董事外部任命的数量。服务于大公司并在大董事会任职的董事更有可能获得董事职位。与Fama和Jensen(1983)一致,我们发现公司绩效对董事的任命数量有积极影响。我们没有发现任何证据表明多位董事逃避其在董事会委员会任职的责任。我们没有发现多名董事与证券欺诈诉讼的可能性更大有关。我们得出的结论是,证据不支持限制个人担任董事职位的呼吁。版权归美国金融协会所有。

What Really Matters in Auction Design 拍卖设计中真正重要的东西
Pub Date : 2001-09-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.237114
P. Klemperer
The most important issues in auction design are the traditional concerns of competition policy - preventing collusive, predatory, and entry-deterring behaviour. Ascending and uniform-price auctions are particularly vulnerable to these problems. The Anglo-Dutch auction - a hybrid of the sealed-bid and ascending auctions - may perform better. Effective antitrust is also critical. Notable fiascoes in auctioning mobile-phone licenses, TV franchises, companies, electricity, etc., and especially the European "third-generation" (UMTS) spectrum auctions, show that everything depends on the details of the context. Auction design is not "one size fits all".
拍卖设计中最重要的问题是竞争政策的传统关切——防止串通、掠夺性和阻碍进入的行为。上涨和统一价格的拍卖尤其容易受到这些问题的影响。英荷拍卖——一种密封出价和上涨拍卖的混合体——可能表现更好。有效的反垄断也至关重要。在拍卖手机牌照、电视专营权、公司、电力等方面的显著失败,尤其是欧洲“第三代”(UMTS)频谱拍卖,表明一切都取决于环境的细节。拍卖设计并非“一刀切”。

Law, Property Rights and Growth 法律、产权与增长
Pub Date : 2001-06-05 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.270644
S. Claessens, L. Laeven
This paper investigates how different legal frameworks not only affect the amount of external financing available, but also the allocation of resources among different type of assets. Using a simple model, we show that a firm will get less financing, and thus invest less, in a weak law and order environment. We also show that weaker property rights can lead to an asset substitution effect with firms investing less in intangible assets. Empirically, these two effects appear to be equally important drivers of growth in sectoral value added for a large number of countries. Using individual firm data, we also show that weaker legal frameworks are associated with relatively more fixed assets, but less long-term financing for a given amount of fixed assets.
本文研究了不同的法律框架如何影响外部融资的数量,以及不同类型资产之间的资源配置。使用一个简单的模型,我们表明,在法律和秩序薄弱的环境中,企业将获得较少的融资,从而减少投资。我们还表明,较弱的产权会导致企业在无形资产上的投资减少,从而产生资产替代效应。从经验上看,这两种影响似乎是许多国家部门增加值增长的同等重要驱动因素。利用单个企业的数据,我们还表明,法律框架薄弱与固定资产相对较多相关,但与固定资产数量相同的长期融资较少相关。

A Transcontinental 'a' Train? Foreign Mergers Under Section 368(A)(1)(A) 横贯大陆的火车?根据第368(A)(1)(A)条进行的外国合并
Pub Date : 2001-05-01 DOI: 10.2139/SSRN.268642
Steven A. Bank
In this article, I address the tax consequences to U.S. investors from mergers between foreign corporations. The combination of the increasingly international capital markets and the global merger movement has highlighted the inequity of Treasury's current stance to deny such transactions the benefit of tax-free reorganization status under Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code. The article argues that permitting foreign mergers to qualify as "A" reorganizations is faithful to the original intent of 368(a)(1)(A) and uses this historical perspective to provide a framework for developing a federal tax law definition of "merger or consolidation." The article concludes that broadly applying such a tax-centered conception of the phrase can also help resolve the inequity between foreign and domestic transactions.
在这篇文章中,我将讨论外国公司合并给美国投资者带来的税收后果。日益国际化的资本市场和全球并购运动的结合,突显了财政部目前的立场不公平,即根据《国内税收法》第368(a)(1)(a)条,拒绝此类交易享受免税重组地位的好处。本文认为,允许外国合并符合“A”重组的资格,忠实于368(A) (1)(A)的初衷,并利用这一历史视角为制定联邦税法对“合并或整合”的定义提供了一个框架。文章的结论是,广泛应用这种以税收为中心的短语概念,也有助于解决国内外交易的不平等问题。

The Role of Boards and Stakeholders in Corporate Governance in Singapore 董事会和利益相关者在新加坡公司治理中的作用
Pub Date : 2001-04-25 DOI: 10.2139/SSRN.268077
V. C. Yeo, Pearlie M. C. Koh
This paper was written specifically for the OECD Third Asian Roundtable on Corporate Governance, held in Singapore in April 2001, the theme of which was "the Role of Boards and Stakeholders in Corporate Governance". It goes without saying that a significant part of corporate governance is about managerial control and accountability. The duties imposed on directors, how Board members are chosen, Board composition, the interaction between members, the roles and responsibilities that Boards undertake, both as a whole and by their individual members, all have significant impact on the efficacy and propriety of the Board in fulfilling its functions. This paper discusses the regulatory environment within which Boards of listed companies in Singapore operate. It summarises the duties, roles and responsibilities imposed on and undertaken by Boards and directors in Singapore and highlights key aspects of Board processes and practices. Some empirical data is presented and the latest developments in corporate governance in Singapore and spearheaded by the relevant regulatory authorities are also highlighted.
本文是为2001年4月在新加坡举行的OECD第三届亚洲公司治理圆桌会议而专门撰写的,会议的主题是“董事会和利益相关者在公司治理中的作用”。不用说,公司治理的一个重要部分是管理控制和问责制。董事的职责、董事会成员的选任方式、董事会的组成、董事会成员之间的互动、董事会作为一个整体和个别成员所承担的角色和责任,都对董事会履行其职能的有效性和正当性产生重大影响。本文讨论了新加坡上市公司董事会运作的监管环境。它总结了新加坡董事会和董事的职责、角色和责任,并强调了董事会流程和实践的关键方面。介绍了一些经验数据,并强调了新加坡公司治理的最新发展,并由相关监管机构带头。

Creative Norm Destruction: The Evolution of Nonlegal Rules in Japanese Corporate Governance 创造性规范破坏:日本公司治理非法律规则的演变
Pub Date : 2001-04-24 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.264202
C. Milhaupt
This paper analyzes the origins, persistence, and current evolution of a series of non-legal rules (or "norms") that have played an important role in Japanese corporate governance. The four central features of the governance environment examined here include: 1) the main bank system, in which banks voluntarily restructure loans to some distressed borrowers, 2) a social distaste for hostile takeovers, 3) implicit promises of employment stability, and 4) belief systems about the proper role and structure of the board of directors. I show that, despite virtually ubiquitous claims to the contrary, these norms do not enjoy a long history of practice in Japan, but rather emerged only in the immediate postwar period. I hypothesize that they emerged for two reasons: First, they served as a low-cost substitute for a troubled formal institutional environment beset by the "transplant effect" that imperils legal reform in transition economies today. Second, they provided private benefits to the small number of interest groups that emerged intact from World War II. The flow of private benefits to norm adherents explains the persistence of the norms despite clear evidence of their inefficiency over the past decade. I demonstrate that current models of norm reform, which emphasize the role of exogenous shocks, the workings of norm entrepreneurs, and increased information, explain why the norms of Japanese corporate governance are currently evolving. Finally, extrapolating from Japan's experience, I suggest how norm analysis can contribute to the two most pressing questions in comparative corporate governance today: whether law matters to corporate governance, and whether diverse systems of corporate governance are converging toward the Anglo-American model. As to both questions, I suggest that closer attention to norms reveals shortcomings in the existing literature.
本文分析了在日本公司治理中发挥重要作用的一系列非法律规则(或“规范”)的起源、持续和当前的演变。这里考察的治理环境的四个核心特征包括:1)主要银行体系,其中银行自愿重组对一些陷入困境的借款人的贷款;2)社会对敌意收购的厌恶;3)就业稳定的隐含承诺;4)关于董事会适当角色和结构的信念体系。我指出,尽管普遍存在相反的说法,但这些规范在日本并没有很长的实践历史,而是在战后刚刚出现的。我假设它们的出现有两个原因:首先,它们作为一种低成本的替代品,取代了陷入困境的正式制度环境,这种环境受到“移植效应”的困扰,危及当今转型经济体的法律改革。其次,它们为二战后残存下来的少数利益集团提供了私人利益。私人利益流向规范的追随者,解释了尽管过去十年中有明确证据表明规范效率低下,但规范仍然存在的原因。我证明,当前的规范改革模型强调外源性冲击的作用、规范企业家的运作和增加的信息,这解释了为什么日本公司治理规范目前正在演变。最后,根据日本的经验,我提出了规范分析如何有助于解决当今比较公司治理中两个最紧迫的问题:法律对公司治理是否重要,以及不同的公司治理体系是否正在向英美模式趋同。对于这两个问题,我认为对规范的更密切关注揭示了现有文献中的缺陷。

Does Corporate Diversification Destroy Value? 公司多元化会破坏价值吗?
Pub Date : 2001-04-23 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.199709
J. Graham, M. Lemmon, Jack G. Wolf
We analyze several hundred firms that expand via acquisition and0or increase their number of business segments. The combined market reaction to acquisition announcements is positive but acquiring firm excess values decline after the diversifying event. Much of the excess value reduction occurs because our sample firms acquire already discounted business units, and not because diversifying destroys value. This implies that the standard assumption that conglomerate divisions can be benchmarked to typical stand-alone f irms should be carefully reconsidered. We also show that excess value does not decline when firms increase their number of business segments because of pure reporting changes. DOES CORPORATE DIVERSIF ICATION destroy value? Several recent papers attempt to answer this question by comparing the market value of firms that operate multiple lines of business to the value of a portfolio of stand-alone firms operating in the same industries as the conglomerate’s divisions. Lang and Stulz ~1994! use this approach and find that multisegment firms have low values of Tobin’s q compared to stand-alone firms. Similarly, Berger and Ofek ~1995! find that U.S. conglomerates are priced at a mean discount of about 15 percent. Lins and Servaes ~1999! find similar discounts in Japan and the United Kingdom. Indeed, based on the Berger and Ofek methodology, diversified firms with valuation discounts had aggregate value losses of $800 billion in 1995. The magnitude of the value loss suggests that operating the divisions of conglomerates as stand-alone firms would create significant value. In this paper, we provide new evidence on whether the act of corporate diversification destroys value, or whether the divisions that make up conglomerates would trade at a discount, even if they operated as standalone firms.
我们分析了数百家通过收购扩张或增加业务部门数量的公司。市场对收购公告的综合反应是积极的,但收购公司的超额价值在多元化事件后下降。大部分超额价值的减少是因为我们的样本公司收购了已经打折的业务单位,而不是因为多元化破坏了价值。这意味着,企业集团部门可以作为典型独立公司的基准的标准假设应该被仔细地重新考虑。我们还表明,当公司增加业务部门数量时,由于单纯的报告变化,超额价值并不会下降。公司多元化会破坏价值吗?最近的几篇论文试图通过比较经营多种业务的公司的市场价值与经营同一行业的独立公司的投资组合的价值来回答这个问题。Lang and Stulz ~1994!使用这种方法,你会发现多部门公司的托宾q值比独立公司低。同样,Berger和Ofek ~1995!发现美国大型企业的股价平均折让约15%。Lins和Servaes ~1999!在日本和英国也有类似的折扣。事实上,根据伯杰和欧菲克的方法,估值折扣的多元化公司在1995年总共损失了8000亿美元的价值。价值损失的幅度表明,将企业集团的各个部门作为独立公司运营将创造巨大的价值。在本文中,我们提供了新的证据,证明公司多元化行为是否会破坏价值,或者组成企业集团的部门是否会以折扣价交易,即使它们作为独立公司运营。

Resource and Strategy Roles of Corporate Governance and Stockmarket Response: An Investigation of Initial Public Offerings in the UK, 1999-2000 公司治理的资源和战略角色与股市反应:1999-2000年英国首次公开募股的调查

Combining an agency perspective, a resource-based view and upper echelon research, this paper examines inter-links between executive characteristics, board structure and share ownership, and short-term performance of firms in a sample of initial public offerings (IPOs) in the UK. It argues that the IPO process presents a unique combination of agency relationships between the firm's executive and non-executive directors, IPO's advisors and underwriters, and outside investors. Board structure, diversity and ownership may be used strategically by the IPO's team to reduce potential agency costs. It shows that, in line with the predictions of a proposed theoretical model, board diversity and share ownership of non-executive directors are negatively associated with experience and share ownership of executive directors. Board diversity and executive share ownership are associated with better IPO performance measured in terms of share offer 'underpricing'.
本文结合代理视角、资源基础视角和上层研究,以英国首次公开募股(ipo)为样本,考察了高管特征、董事会结构、股权与公司短期绩效之间的内在联系。它认为,IPO过程呈现了公司执行董事和非执行董事、IPO顾问和承销商以及外部投资者之间代理关系的独特组合。IPO团队可以战略性地利用董事会结构、多样性和所有权来降低潜在的代理成本。研究表明,根据所提出的理论模型的预测,董事会多样性和非执行董事的持股与执行董事的经验和持股呈负相关。董事会多样性和高管持股与更好的IPO表现有关,以股票发行“定价过低”来衡量。
