Executive compensation, corporate governance and corporate performance: A simultaneous equation approach
No full textThis paper investigates the association between executive compensation and performance. It uniquely utilises a comprehensive set of corporate governance mechanisms within a three-stage least squares (3SLS) simultaneous equation framework. Results based on estimating a conventional single equation model indicate that the executive pay and performance sensitivity is relatively weak, whereas those based on estimating a 3SLS model generally suggest improved executive pay and performance sensitivity. Our findings highlight the need for future research to control for possible simultaneous interdependencies when estimating the executive pay and performance link. The findings are generally robust across a raft of econometric models that control for different types of endogeneities, executive pay and performance proxies.<br/
The impact of corporate board meetings on corporate performance in South Africa
No full textWe investigate the impact of corporate board meetings on corporate performance for a sample of 169 listed corporations from 2002 to 2007 in South Africa (SA). Our findings suggest a statistically significant and positive association between the frequency of corporate board meetings and corporate performance, implying that SA boards that meet more frequently tend to generate higher financial performance. A further investigation indicates a significant non-monotonic link between the frequency of corporate board meetings and corporate performance, suggesting that either a relatively small or large number of corporate board meetings impacts positively on corporate performance. Our findings are consistent across a raft of econometric models that control for different types of endogeneities and corporate performance proxies. Our results provide empirical support for agency theory, which suggests that corporate boards that meet more frequently have increased capacity to effectively advise, monitor and discipline management, and thereby improving corporate financial performance

Submission Pauline Collins ANON-Z1E7-QWCC-N
No full textThis submission advocates in view of the 50 previous reports, with 750 recommendations since 2000 and the ad hoc, piecemeal changes making an already complex system more burdened after 40 years it is time to repeal the Defence Force Discipline Act 1982 and look at an entirely fresh approach. This is advocated in light of the High Court Private R v Cowen decision and the changing environment in which military members are comprised of an all-volunteer and defence civilian workforce operating in complex multi-force foreign conflicts and internal domestic domains both in security scenarios e.g. border force and community events such as the pandemic and climate episodes. Firsthand accounts from members to this author describe the lifelong stress and dysfunction caused because of the military discipline system
