讲座主要内容:

We examine whether and how public enforcement can constrain self-dealing activities in emerging markets. Using data from China, we find that firms receiving comment letters concerning related-party transactions (hereafter RPTs) from stock exchanges significantly reduce their RPTs in subsequent years. Independent directors play a significant role in affecting the comment letters’ governance role. We find that (1) independent directors are more likely to dissent or resign after their firms receive RPT comment letters, especially when they have higher career and reputational concerns, and (2) the subsequent reduction in RPTs is also more pronounced when independent directors have such higher concerns. Nonetheless, independent directors’ governance effectiveness is moderated by firms’ political connection, ownership concentration, and local legal environment. Overall, our results suggest that even in emerging markets in which the legal systems are generally weak, public enforcement can still constrain controlling shareholders’ expropriation activities through leveraging independent directors’ reputational incentives to activate internal governance. Our study sheds light on a within-firm mechanism through which public enforcement takes effect.
