The authors provide new comparative evidence and analyse its implications for the policy debate. They challenge the conventional wisdom that corporate governance in European firms was systematically dysfunctional. While proposals aimed at increasing disclosure and accountability are usually well-grounded, caution is suggested when bringing forward regulatory changes with respect to proposals targeting specific governance arrangements, especially in the fields of board composition and shareholder activism. They argue that the 'comply or explain' principle should be retained and further efforts should be exercised to enhance disclosure. 410 0$aInternational corporate law and financial market regulation. 517 3 $aBoards & Shareholders in European Listed Companies 606 $aCorporate governance$xLaw and legislation$zEurope 606 $aDirectors of corporations$xLegal status, laws, etc$zEurope 606 $aStockholders$xLegal status, laws, etc$zEurope 615 0$aCorporate governance$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aDirectors of corporations$xLegal status, laws, etc. 615 0$aStockholders$xLegal status, laws, etc. 676 $a338.6/1094 702 $aBelcredi$b Massimo 702 $aFerrarini$b Guido 712 02$aEmittenti Titoli S.p.A., 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823442803321 996 $aBoards and shareholders in european listed companies$9835926 997 $aUNINA
