The Determinants of German Corporate Governance Ratings

Wolfgang Drobetz, Klaus Gugler () and Simone Hirschvogl

Chapter 14 in The Modern Firm, Corporate Governance and Investment, 2009 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This book explores the revolutionary development of the theory of the firm over the past 35 years. Despite rapid progress in the field, new developments in the microeconomic and industrial organization literature have been relatively scant. This book attempts to redress the balance by providing a comprehensive overview of the theory of the firm before moving on to examine firms and the organization of their economic activities. The contributors also investigate the impact of ownership structure and board composition on firm performance and study how the institutional framework of an economy affects investment decisions.
