An alternate approach, used in commercial indices, is...

A central issue in evaluating the effects of firm-level corporate governance (FLCG) is how to measure it. We focus here on emerging markets (EMs). One common approach to measuring FLCG uses country-specific (CSIs), tailored to each country’s laws and institutions. Several studies report that...
