SHAREHOLDERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE:
A RESEARCH AGENDA AND CONFERENCE
Yale University - Yale School of Management
Oxford University - Said Business School
CONFERENCE SUMMARY:
Much has changed in the almost 75 years since Berle and
Means analyzed the consequences of separation between
ownership and control in large business organizations. The
changes, all of which impact investors, include securities
laws, corporation laws, the organization of capital
markets, the management of investment capital, the
distribution of ownership rights between different
stakeholders, information technologies, the global flow
of capital, and the structure of enterprises themselves.
The 75th anniversary is an appropriate time for the Yale
School of Management's Center for Corporate Governance and
Performance and the University of Oxford's Said Business
School to hold a conference to re-examine the role of the
investor in the corporation under these changed and
changing circumstances and ultimately whether these changes
have or can impact the advancement of social welfare.
This conference, scheduled to take place at Oxford
University in October 2007, will bring leading thinkers
together to take stock and look to the future role of
investors in the governance and performance of the
corporation in society.
To avoid drawing inferences from a single historical
observation, the research and conference will be based on
a comparative analysis of the U.S. and U.K. The Conference
will report the results of research studies on how law and
regulation affect the incentives and the ability of
investors, especially of institutional investors, to engage
in active corporate governance in the U.K. and U.S. and
whether those differences impact corporate performance.
The Conference calls for a broad research agenda and will
be open to relevant explorations not specifically mentioned
in these pages.
TOPICS OF RESEARCH:
The four primary topics for research include:
(i) Differences between the U.K. and the U.S. law and
regulations: Exploration of the legal and regulatory
environments of the two countries in order, and
identification of how the differences impact governance
practices of corporations;
(ii) Consequences of differences in the behavior of
investors in the two countries. Assessment of the effects
on corporate performance of differences in investor
behavior;
(iii) Options for legal and market reforms that might
provide a more appropriate level of shareholder activism.
Assessment of the feasibility and consequences of
alternative forms of law, regulation, disclosure and
governance of corporations; and
(iv) Economics of institutional investor activism in
corporate governance. Evaluation of the social welfare
implications (including on shareholder interests) of
existing differences between the two countries, as well as
the effect of possible changes to current arrangements.
SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS:
We invite scholars to submit one page abstracts of their
research projects that fit into this broad research agenda
by November 1, 2006. All identifying information should be
removed from the abstract. There is no submission fee.
The proposals will be reviewed in December 2006. A panel of
scholars comprised of Yale and Oxford faculty will select
approximately 10 papers for the Conference. Those selected
will be notified in January 2007. The Conference organizers
will pay for travel and room and board expenses during the
conference for participants. Authors of the proposed papers
may apply for a research grant of up to $10,000 to support
research required to complete the paper to be presented at
the Conference. Applicants seeking such support should
attach an addendum to their proposal including a
description and budget for such a grant.
Completed papers will be expected by September 1, 2007.
The conference is planned for October 2007. Cash prizes
will be awarded for the outstanding papers.
If you wish to have your paper considered for presentation
at the conference, please submit your proposal
electronically, as a Word or PDF document, via email to:
CONTACT: Michele Grammatico
Yale Center for Corporate Governance
and Performance
Email: MAILTO:CoordinatorYCCGP@yale.edu
We look forward to an exciting conference and hope you will
submit your paper for consideration.
