Abstract: The objective of this monograph is to review prior studies and propose new research directions for the corporate governance of Chinese listed firms. The focus of this monograph is to investigate the underlying relation between China's institutional environment and its listed firms' corporate governance, and to show how formal and informal governance mechanisms actually work within these firms. A top-down institutional framework is adopted to integrate prior research and guide us in identifying first-order factors that shape the corporate governance practice in China. Following this institutional framework, I propose a number of research directions that study the formal and informal governance approaches unique to China's environment.
