Conference on Corporate Governance
Swedish House of Finance and the European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI) invite you to SHoF’s Annual Conference on Corporate Governance on August 27 and 28.
Several long-term trends challenge the governance of public companies, including the rise of passive institutions, the ongoing globalization of stock markets, and a decreasing number of public firms due to fewer IPOs and more delistings. Perhaps most dramatically, corporations are asked to engage more with political issues (e.g., disengaging from doing business in certain countries) and to take increasing responsibility for stakeholder groups other than shareholders.
The first day features keynote presentations and panel discussions with leading scholars and practitioners. The second day, open to researchers in Sweden who have an interest in finance, features presentations and discussions of relevant research papers.
The program includes keynotes addresses by:
Wei Jiang
Asa Griggs Candler Professor of Finance, Emory University
Luigi Zingales
Robert C. McCormack Distinguished Service Professor of Entrepreneurship and Finance, University of Chicago
