Distribution of Voting Premium Across EU Countries, by YearThis paper proposes a new approach to quantifying the effects of corporate governance reforms, by focusing on the dynamics of the voting premiums, a measure of the private benefits of control in a corporation. The results indicate that the reforms have been successful in reducing the voting premiums EU-wide. Moreover, more intense and broad reform efforts (such as introducing national reforms beyond and above the EU-wide initiatives) bring higher and longer lasting benefits. Our findings also suggest that the market for corporate control in Europe has become more integrated, as illustrated by IMF Working PapersCorporate governanceEuropeCase studiesCorporate governanceElectronic books.Corporate governanceCorporate governance.338.6094Ivaschenko Iryna862008Koeva Brooks Petya862009MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464006203321Corporate governance reforms in the EU1924030UNINA05600nam 2200745Ia 450 991045238880332120200520144314.00-7618-4998-X1-299-13580-3(CKB)2550000001000384(EBL)1123747(SSID)ssj0000821506(PQKBManifestationID)12392081(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000821506(PQKBWorkID)10879274(PQKB)11052494(MiAaPQ)EBC1123747(Au-PeEL)EBL1123747(CaPaEBR)ebr10658829(CaONFJC)MIL444830(OCoLC)854970431(EXLCZ)99255000000100038420091015d2010 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrActing bodies and social networks[electronic resource] a bridge between technology and working memory /edited and introduced by Bianca Maria Pirani and Ivan VargaLanham University Press of Americac20101 online resource (439 p.)Selected papers presented at the Research Committee 54 "The body in the social sciences" program of the International Sociological Associations's First World Forum of Sociology held in Barcelona on Sept. 4-8, 2008.0-7618-4997-1 Includes bibliographical references.Cover; Title Page; Copyright Page; Table of Contents; Conclusion; A Paradigm to Integrate Mind and Body; Notes; Foreword; Introduction; Bodies in Technology; The Invention of Technology; The Body is the Medium of Knowledge; Acting Bodies: A Bridge Between Technology and Working Memory; Bibliography; Volume One: The Body as Social Icon; First Part: Icon as Utopia; 1: Utopian Bodies; What is the Utopian Body?; Pumping Iron, or, the Utopian Body in History; The Global no Body and the Vulnerable Body in Pain; Filmography; Bibliography; 2: Obama as Charismatic Icon; IntroductionMax Weber and Charismatic AuthorityCharisma and Icon; Creating a Social Space for Charismatic Authority; Obama as Polysemic Icon; Image at a Standstill; Bibliography; 3: A Social Icon: the ""Squart""; Squart Rue de la Bourse (Paris); Bibliography; 4: Philosophy as Memory; Bibliography; 5: Icons, Symbols, Cultures; General Considerations; The Body as Icon and Symbol; Notes; Bibliography; 6: Increasing Diversity in a Changing Europe; Introduction; Diversity, Migration and Political Cultures in France, Britain and Germany; The Case of ItalyThe Communitarization of the Migration Policies and the Management of DiversityThe Convergence of Migration Policies in EU Countries; Bibliography; Second Part: Social Icons of the Body: Case-Studies; 7: The Play Actors: Fleeing Bodies, Remaining Prudishness or .......
