Do board characteristics affect environmental performance? A study of EU firms

2019

This paper explores the relationship between board characteristics and environmental performance. We adopt a triple perspective of environmental performance, focussing on emissions (waste and CO2), resource consumption (water and energy), and the implementation of environmental initiatives. The sample comprises 644 nonfinancial European Union–based companies. The data cover the period 2002 to 2017. The results confirm that gender diversity and the existence of a corporate social responsibility committee are positively associated with the firms' environmental performance. This finding is consistent with the view that the educational background, talent, and experience of women help promote su…

La infravaloración de las ofertas públicas iniciales en el mercado español: empresa familiar versus empresa no familiar

2013

ResumenLa evidencia previa nacional e internacional muestra la infravaloración de las empresas que salen a bolsa a través de una Oferta Pública Inicial (OPI). Este trabajo tiene como objetivo estudiar si este fenómeno también se da en las empresas de carácter familiar y si existen diferencias significativas en la infravaloración respecto de las empresas no familiares. Para ello, analizamos una muestra formada por 59 empresas españolas que iniciaron su cotización en el mercado bursátil español por medio de una OPI en el periodo 1994-2012. Los resultados revelan que se produce un rendimiento inicial medio positivo significativo tanto en las OPI de las empresas familiares como en las OPI de la…

La mujer en los consejos de administración: evidencia para el mercado bursátil español

2019

Antecedentes: durante decadas se ha luchado por la incorporacion de la mujer al mercado laboral, lo que promueve la igualdad de genero. Sin embargo, una mayor presencia de la mujer en el mercado laboral no indica una plena igualdad, pues es evidente la existencia del conocido techo de cristal y de una brecha salarial. El articulo proporciona evidencia de estas dos caracteristicas en los consejos de administracion de las empresas del mercado continuo espanol. Metodologia: se estima un modelo de regresion multiple con observaciones por consejero, empresa y ano, controlando efectos fijos temporales de la empresa y del sector. En el estudio consideramos especificamente la presencia de diversida…

Boards of directors: composition and effects on the performance of the firm

2018

This paper analyses the structure of boards of directors and its impact on business performance, which is approximated by economic profitability and the Tobin’s Q ratio. We focus on three basic aspects of boards that have been reviewed in the recent reform of the Good Governance Code: the size of boards, their independence and their diversity. For the study of diversity, we use an index that integrates not only the gender of board members, but also their age and nationality, since these are factors that can influence the knowledge, experience and skills of the directors. The results confirm a high degree of compliance with the recommendations of the Good Governance Code, and suggest that th…

Ownership and Operating Performance of Spanish Family IPO Firms

2020

Previous studies have shown the existence of a relationship between the ownership structure of a company and its operational performance. In this context, the empirical evidence reveals that after an initial public offering (IPO), companies experience a decline in their operational performance. In this research, the authors investigate whether the characteristics of Spanish family firms led to a different operating behavior with respect to non-family companies when they go public through an IPO. The results show that the particularities of the family firm do not turn into significant differences in operational performance after the listing process.

The informational role of thin options markets: Empirical evidence from the Spanish case

2016

This study investigates the informational role of thin options markets, specifically the Spanish options market. Firstly, we examine the effect of options markets by analysing stock market reaction to earnings news, conditional on the availability of options markets. Secondly, we examine options trading activity before the release of earnings news (including the announcement period). The results show that the impact on prices before the earnings release is significantly bigger when options trading is available. Moreover, the dissemination of earnings news is associated with significant unusual activity in the options market due to informed trading, especially when the earnings surprise is h…
