Abstract: | Based on a unique panel dataset tracking corporate board development from a firm's initial public offering (IPO) through 10 years later, it is found that: i. board size (here as: b-s.) and independence (as: b-i.) increase as firms grow and diversify over time, ii. b-s. - but not b-i. - reflects a tradeoff btw. the firm-specific benefits and costs of monitoring, and iii. b-i. is negatively related to the manager's influence and positively related to constraints. These results indicate that economic considerations help explain cross-sectional variation in corporate b-s. and composition etc. |
