讲座主题：Remote Board Meetings and Board Monitoring Effectiveness: Evidence from China

摘 要：Using unique data on board meeting types of Chinese firms, we examine the effect of remote board meetings on board monitoring effectiveness. We find that compared to face-to-face meetings, remote meetings are associated with better meeting attendance behavior of directors, higher likelihood of director dissent on monitoring-related proposals, higher forced CEO turnover-performance sensitivity, and more effective investments. Proposal-director-level analysis further shows that remote meetings increase (reduce) dissension incentives of busy and young directors (first-term and socially connected directors). The results suggest that remote meetings improve board monitoring effectiveness by facilitating status equalization among directors and alleviating their pressure for conformity.
