03/08/2021

The Institute of Business Research UEH invites scholars and practitioners to participate in the Webinar series organized by our partner, Asian Law and Economics Association.

About the webinar series

In this webinar series, law and economics scholars will present their current research projects and also guide the audience through the analytical techniques used in their research. The series aspires not only to be instructive for entry-level researchers and graduate students but also to be informative for more established scholars. The time duration is one hour, including a Q&A period.

Topic: “Initial Public Offering and Optimal Corporate Governance”
Summary: This project examines the long-standing debate over whether firms have a market-based incentive to adopt the optimal governance structure at the initial public offering (IPO). Various scholars and practitioners have argued that firms (with the founders) have an incentive to adopt the optimal corporate governance structure at the IPO, while others have empirically challenged such assertions. The project attempts to bridge this gap with the help of a simple game theory and examines the conditions under which firms may adopt suboptimal governance features at IPO.
