6 June 2017 (Tuesday)

Outline: This seminar is of specific value if you are interested in ESG issues:
 
  • State-owned enterprises (SOEs) have been criticized for poor governance and questionable efficiency. In a recent paper titled “Leviathan Inc. and Corporate Environmental Engagement,” Dr. Pedro Matos from the Darden School of Business, University of Virginia, and his colleagues from the University of Hong Kong and Singapore Management University, respectively, conducted an international study of the impact of state ownership on a firm’s engagement in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues.
  • There has been significant debate on the effects of ESG issues on shareholder value. In this paper, it was found that SOEs are, in fact, more engaged in environmental issues and, more importantly, this engagement does not come at the expense of shareholder value. Furthermore, SOEs are also more engaged in social issues, but they do not reveal better corporate governance performance.
