"The Advisory and Monitoring Functions of Corporate Boards" (On-Going)
We examine the advisory function of independent executives (IEs), independent directors who are also serving as executives of other public firms in the BoardEx database, on the receiver firms' corporate policies, by testing the potential "convergence" of these corporate policies between the receiver and the sender firms after these executives have joined the receiver firms to become independent directors. To examine the potential conflict of the advisory and monitoring roles served by independent directors, we track the committee service roles of these IEs, based on the notion that if such a conflict exists, IEs could either refrain from serving at traditionally monitoring-focused committees including compensation and nomination/governance committees or, if they do serve on these committees, may not serve as diligent a role in disciplining underperforming CEOs as in the case of not serving on these committees.
