摘要
We study the effect of board reforms on firms' research and development (R & D) investments utilizing a sample of 41 countries. Using a difference-in-differences analysis, we find that firms invest more in R & D following corporate governance reforms. Of these, two legal reforms - having an independent audit committee and board independence - have a greater impact on R & D investment. Additionally, we show that board reforms have a more pronounced effect on R & D investment in hi-tech industries and the health sector.
