This paper identifies some of the key studies and contributions of the existing corporate governance literature, while identifying several fruitful areas for research where our understanding of corporate governance is incomplete. For example, what is the relationship between corporate governance and corporate social responsibility, and how might this change in different institutional environments? Expanding standard models to include more nuanced factors within diverse and dynamic institutional environments is one challenge we face in modeling governance more comprehensively. In addition, as data becomes more easily available on smaller countries, transitional economies, and in frontier and emerging markets, we also need to expand our studies beyond the large Western country context. Future empirical work should undertake to better understand and examine the institutional structures, systems, mechanisms and incentives within understudied regions around the world. Beyond the notion of replication studies, careful cross-country studies would enable us to compare outcomes with existing studies and better inform us on fundamental differences (and similarities) between systems, contributing to our discussions on the limits of conversion between governance systems. %B Journal of Industrial and Business Economics %8 2019 %G eng %U https://www.springer.com/economics/microeconomics/journal/40812 %2 a %4 182875981824 %$ 182875981824 %0 Generic %D 2015 %T Cultural Intelligence Antecedents %A Elston,Julie %K Finance %K OSU-Cascades %B European Academy of Management (EURAM) Conference %C Warsaw, Poland %8 2015 %G eng %2 c %4 106814851072 %$ 106814851072 %0 Journal Article %J Scottish Journal of Political Economy %D 2009 %T Corporate Governance and Capital Accumulation: Firm Level Evidence from Italy %A Elston,Julie %A Rondi,Laura %K Finance %K OSU-Cascades %X This study investigates the impact of investor protection on firm ownership and investment decisions in a model where investor protection is allowed to vary across firms. Using firm panel data for Italy, we construct firm level variables to capture the degree of investor protection which is specific to the firm and observable by outside shareholders. Empirical evidence indicates that the stronger the investor protections the lower the fraction of equity that is owned by insiders. Results also suggest that higher insider equity ownership is linked to a larger risk premium and higher costs of capital for the firm. Finally, our findings indicate that the magnitude of capital stock distortions is important when shareholder protection is weak and ownership concentration is high. %B Scottish Journal of Political Economy %V 56 %P 634-661 %8 2009 %G eng %N 6 %2 a %4 8489428993 %$ 8489428993 %0 Generic %D 2007 %T Characterizing the Entrepreneur %A Elston,Julie %K Finance %K OSU-Cascades %B Central Oregon Busness Roundtable %C Riverwalk Hotel %8 2007 %G eng %2 c %4 2657712129 %$ 2657712129 %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Productivity Analysis %D 2006 %T Can Institutional Change Impact High-Technology Firm Growth: Evidence from Germany's Neuer Markt %A Audretsch,David B. %A Elston,Julie %K Finance %K OSU-Cascades %X To facilitate the transformation of the German economy from the traditional manufacturing industries towards emerging new technologies, a new segment of the Frankfurt exchange was introduced in 1997 — the Neuer Markt. To examine whether the Neuer Markt was successful, we compare the relationship between firm size and growth for firms listed on the Neuer Markt and contrast the results with two benchmarks: (1) for German firms prior to the 1990s (to reflect the older traditional manufacturing sector) and (2) for the stylized results for the US. This study provides evidence that not only did many new firms obtain funding from the Neuer Markt; but that for the first time in recent history, Germany succeeded in enabling smaller firms to grow faster than larger firms. This suggests that the new policies were not only successful in promoting a new type of firm that otherwise might not exist, but in transforming the sources of growth and innovation within the German economy. %B Journal of Productivity Analysis %V 25 %P 9-23 %8 2006 %G eng %N 1 %2 a %4 650092544 %$ 650092544 %0 Generic %D 2002 %T Changing Policies and New Economic Growth: Germany in Transition %A Elston,Julie %K Finance %K OSU-Cascades %B Presentation at the School for Policy and Environmental Economics, Institute for European Studies, Indiana University, %C Bloomington IN %8 2002 %G eng %2 c %4 650149888 %$ 650149888 %0 Generic %D 2002 %T Changing Policies and New Economic Growth: Germany in Transition %A Elston,Julie %K Finance %K OSU-Cascades %B Presentation at the School of Public Policy, Pepperdine University %C Malibu CA %8 2002 %G eng %2 c %4 650172416 %$ 650172416
