Why is it important?
This study, by applying a dynamic longitudinal modelling approach, extends the nascent literature on board human capital as well as more generally to the corporate governance literature by providing robust empirical evidence showing that the general human capital of board directors may add value to firms.
Perspectives
We report that the human capital of directors appears to have a positive influence upon a firm’s financial performance. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first work on the topic of human capital of directors and firm performance for publicly listed companies in Vietnam.
