摘要
This paper utilizes a new data set from AllianceBernstein that, unlike other corporate governance data, has monthly-updated firm-level governance ratings for 21 emerging markets countries for almost a five year period. With these unique data, we examine how changes in corporate governance ratings impact firm Valuation. Using this test we find evidence that improvements in corporate governance result in significantly higher valuations. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
