Corporate Governance in China
The nature of corporate governance is a key determinant of coporate performance,
and thereby of a country’s overall economic performance. A sound corporate governance system is particularly important for China’s ongoing reforms and helps in achieving stable and sustainable growth of its economy. This book, based on extensive original economic analysis, examines key questions relating to corporate governance in China, including the relationship between ownership structure and corporate performance, the determinants of capital structure, and the nature of contemporary governance structures. It concludes – interestingly and controversially – amongst other things that corporate performance is positively related to ownership concentration, but negatively related to state ownership, and that contemporary corporate governance structures are heavily dependent on previous structures in the centrally-planned economy and on the path of transition to the market economy.
