For this purpose, the model developed by Demsetz and Villalonga (2001) is applied to a sample of 192 firms listed in Bovespa between 2006 and 2008. The results show that firm value can affect the concentration of ownership structure, but not vice-versa. The evidence also indicate that, in Brazil, the ownership structure variable that has a (significant and negative) relationship with firm value is the potential for expropriation of minority shareholders by controlling shareholders, represented by the deviation between the concentration of control rights and concentration of cash flow rights. / Este estudo examina a relação entre estrutura de propriedade e valor das empresas, tratando a estrutura de propriedade de forma endógena e multi-dimensional. Para isso, o modelo desenvolvido por Demsetz e Villalonga (2001) é aplicado em uma amostra de 192 empresas listadas na Bovespa entre 2006 e 2008. Os resultados indicam que o valor da firma pode afetar a concentração da estrutura de propriedade, mas não vice-versa. As evidências obtidas também indicam que, no Brasil, a variável da estrutura de propriedade que influencia, de forma negativa, o valor das empresas é o potencial de expropriação dos acionistas minoritários pelos acionistas controladores, representada pelo desvio entre a concentração do direito de controle e a concentração do direito de fluxo de caixa.

O estudo aplica duas metodologias distintas para garantir a robustez dos resultados. Embora os resultados apontem que empresas com menor volatilidade do fluxo de caixa possuem maior valor, os valores encontrados não se mostram significativos. / This monograph examines the relationship between cash flow volatility and firm value, considering a sample composed by non-financial Brazilian companies listed in São Paulo Stock Exchange from 2004 to 2007. Two different econometric approaches are used in order to guarantee robust results. Although results suggest that companies with smaller cash flow volatility are more valued, the corresponding coefficients are not statistically significant.

Enterprise risk management (ERM) has emerged as a distinct model for managing a sophisticated portfolio of corporate risks. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of ERM on firm value for companies on the Johannesburg Securities Exchange. The sample comprised forty-five firms from different industries over the period 2000-2016. Most studies used five or ten-year periods, using data derived from only one industry. Tobin’s Q was used as a proxy for firm value. Multivariate regression analysis was employed to determine statistical relationships. The findings indicate a significant correlation between ERM and Tobin’s Q, indicating that ERM significantly contributes to firm value. These findings may be used to develop and shape ERM policy frameworks for firms and countries. The study provides new insights, from an African emerging market context on the value effects of ERM. Larger and international samples may improve future studies. / Business Management / M. Com. (Business Management)

Como estratégia de mensuração regredimos os excessos dos retornos sobre o patrimônio líquido das empresas - excessos em relação ao retorno de mercado (ROE menos o retorno do Ibovespa) contra o percentual de mulheres no conselho de administração. Utilizamos o método dos mínimos quadrados com dados referentes às empresas de capital aberto listadas na bolsa brasileira (B3) que apresentaram liquidez em bolsa superior à 1%. Controlamos os resultados para heterogeneidade dos conselhos adicionando os seguintes regressores: idade dos conselheiros, tamanho e independência do conselho. Concluímos que existe uma relação positiva e estatisticamente significativa entre uma maior presença de mulheres em conselhos de administração e geração de valor nas empresas, quando a geração é mensurada pelo excesso do retorno sobre o patrimônio líquido em relação ao retorno médio de mercado / This study builds an unprecedented database to analyze whether gender diversity in boards of directors in Brazil added shareholder value in the period between 2010 and 2017. As a measurement strategy we regressed the excesses of returns on companies 'stockholders' equity - excesses in relation to the market return (ROE less Ibovespa's return) against the percentage of women on the board of directors. We used the least squares method with data referring to publicly traded companies listed on the Brazilian stock exchange (B3), which had liquidity on the stock exchange of more than 1%. We control the results for heterogeneity in boards by adding the following regressors: age of board members, size, and board independence. We conclude that there is a positive and statistically significant relationship between a greater presence of women in boards of directors and a greater generation of value in companies, when generation is measured by the excess of return on equity in relation to the average return of the market

In general, the literature suggests that firms with executive higher remuneration tend to have better value and performance in comparison with companies with lower remuneration. We analyze a unique Brazilian database to test this hypothesis. The analysis of 420 Brazilian companies from 2002 to 2009 indicates a positive and significant relation between executive remuneration and firm value (price-to-book), suggesting that companies that pay better executive remuneration have higher value. On the other hand, there is no significant relation between executive remuneration and operational performance (ROA and sales growth). / Este trabalho tem como objetivo identificar se a remuneração dos executivos afeta o valor e desempenho das empresas.

A análise de 420 companhias abertas brasileiras no período de 2002 a 2009 indica que existe uma relação positiva e significativa entre remuneração executiva e valor da empresa (price-to-book), ou seja, empresas que pagam mais a seus executivos possuem maior valor de mercado. Por outro lado, não existe evidência significativa que empresas que melhor remuneram seus executivos apresentam um melhor desempenho operacional (retorno sobre ativos e crescimento de vendas).

Forward-looking financial disclosure (FLFD) is potentially uninformative if it does not change from the previous year, especially after a significant change in firm performance. This study uses a sample of UK narrative statements of the annual reports over the period from 2005 to 2011. It employed the automated content analysis technique to measure change in FLFD over years to answer three research questions. First, to what extent does change in firms’ earnings performance drive managers to change FLFD over years? Second, what are the other drivers of the change of FLFD from year to year? Third, do investors use information revealed by the change in FLFD? The study finds a positive association between change in FLFD and change in firm earnings performance. However, it finds weak evidence that firms with larger changes in their earnings performance are likely to change their FLFD more than those with smaller performance changes. In addition, when we distinguish between well-performing and poorly performing firms, it finds that the change in FLFD is more positively associated with poorly performing firms compared to well-performing firms. Furthermore, it finds that change in FLFD is positively (negatively) associated with firm size, (competitive environment), (litigious environment), and (percentage of managerial ownership). In addition, the role of the auditor in overseeing narrative reporting is not appearing for all sample firms or for well-performing firms, however, it is observable only in poorly performing firms. Finally, the study uses firm value three months after the release of the annual report to examine investors’ responses to the changes in FLFD. It finds that the value of a firm decreases as long as it changes its FLFD from the previous year. However, when we distinguish between well and poorly performing firms, it finds that the change in FLFD has no effect on the value of well-performing firms, while, it negatively affects poorly performing firms. The results suggest that FLFD in UK narratives includes some content about firm performance. However, it neither affects the value of well-performing firms nor enhances investors’ valuation of poorly performing firms.

In this thesis, we explore the proprietary Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) scores and analyze their impacts on firm valuation using the sample of 166 companies operating in 35 emerging and frontier markets. Three methods of ESG scores, Principal Component Analysis and regression analysis are used. The results indicate an economically significant relationship between the overall ESG measure and firm value mainly driven by the “Environmental” and “Capital allocation” sub-scores. An exploratory principal component analysis and an extensive list of firm characteristics is also employed in our regression analysis to address problems identified in previous studies - construct validity and endogeneity. The PCA revealed dominance of Environmental and Social components in the variance of the total ESG score. Finally, the strengths and weaknesses of proprietary ESG score and PCAderived index are recognized based on sector- and region level comparison and the opportunities to improve the ESG scorecard framework are identified. / In den uppsatsen, forskning går på Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) poäng och analyserar deras påverkan på företagsvärdering genom att använda ett urval av 166 företag som verkar i 35 frontier och tillväxtmarknader. Tre metoder av ESG mätning, Principal Component Analysis och regressionsanalyser tillämpades. Resultat tyder på ett ekonomiskt signifikant förhållande mellan totala ESG mätning och företagsvärdering vilket drivs av miljö och kapitalallokering delpoäng. Principalkomponentanalys och en utförlig lista av företagsegenskaper tillämpades också i våra regressionsanalyser för att adressera problem identifierade i tidigare studier - begreppsvaliditet och endogenitetsproblem. PCA tydde på dominans av miljöoch sociala aspekter i varians av den totala ESG poängen. Avslutningsvis, styrkor och svagheter av ESG-poäng och PCA-härlett index baserat på bransch- samt regionaljämförelser och möjligheterna för förbättring av ESG-mätning ramverk identifierades.

Sustainability is not a new concept to the financial markets, but its popularity and wider use have increased as people have grown more concerned about the future of this planet. However, the relationship between sustainable investments and financial performance is not clear. One of the most used measures of sustainability is the concept of ESG score, where E, S and G stand for environmental, social and governance. In this study, we investigate the relationship between ESG score and financial performance, both market and accounting based. We also separate the score into its individual parts E, S, and G, and try to distinguish which factor has the strongest relation to financial performance. To evaluate the relationship, a regression analysis was performed on a sample of Nordic stocks and the Sustainalytics ESG rank. Our findings concluded no significant relationship between ESG score and financial performance, neither market nor accounting based. The environmental factor (E) showed the strongest relation to financial performance, however slightly negative and only significant to one dependent variable out of three. Our results indicate that based on the ESG score used in this study, no conclusions can be drawn about financial performance. Since our research does not indicate a significant relationship, our recommendation is to invest in the highest ESG ranked stock in case of choosing between two otherwise similar stocks. / Hållbarhet är inget nytt koncept inom finans, men dess popularitet och användning har ökat kraftigt. Dock är det fortfarande oklart hur hållbara investeringar förhåller sig till lönsamhet och avkastning. En av de mest använda hållbarhetsmåtten är ESG, som står för environmental, social and governance. I denna studie undersöker vi relationen mellan ESG-mått och lönsamhet, både marknads- och resultatbaserad. Vi delar också upp ESG i sina tre komponenter E, S, och G för att undersöka vilken faktor som har den starkaste relationen till lönsamhet. Detta görs genom en regressionsanalys med paneldata från ett urval av nordiska aktier och Sustainalytics ESG-mått. Vårt resultat visar ingen signifikant relation mellan ESG-mått och lönsamhet. Komponenten E visar den starkaste relationen till lönsamhet, ett signifikant och något negativt samband, men endast till en av tre responsvariabler. Vårt resultat indikerar således att inget samband verkar finnas mellan lönsamhet och dessa ESG-mått. Eftersom vår studie inte visar på något signifikant samband, blir vår rekommendation att investera i den aktien med högst ESG-mått, om man skulle välja mellan två annars lika aktier.
