Corporate Finance and Governance

This cluster of papers explores the relationship between corporate governance, investor protection, ownership structure, financial constraints, and their impact on firm performance, dividend policy, capital structure, board composition, and the role of institutional investors in mergers and acquisitions. It also investigates the influence of managerial traits, CEO characteristics, and the preferences of institutional investors on corporate financial policies.

189,604 works

Papers listed on taxonomy pages are the top few works per node from the OpenAlex snapshot. That list is not exhaustive and is not an endorsement. The topic map and the journal registry remain separate: there is still no authoritative topic-to-venue or topic-to-organization edge. Search is a lexical lookup, not a claim that a venue publishes a topic.
