Why is it important?

Our results indicate that only under apparently better quality corporate governance conditions, presence in premium listings, do corporate reputation and the board of directors reduce systematic risk. In addition, we show that the effect of reputation on risk is positively moderated by firm size.

Perspectives

This work began as a result of my doctoral thesis, whose results illustrate a unique moment in the history of corporate governance in Brazil.
