However, more boards would be well served to give a [...]

People are named to corporate boards for their vitae and achievements, but can a director have too much of these? Ex-CEOs may retire and enter into board work as a 'formerly important person.'

You may value the FIP's experience... but how can you re-train him to play as a member of a boardroom team?, An FIP is a 'Formerly Important Person.' This person is often a CEO who has just left their role where they were an imperial CEO. This could be a leader [...]

Among the great themes of modern corporate governance, the minutes and records of board and committee meetings may seem like a trivial concern.

We study how the US shale boom decreased labor earnings inequality by increasing demand for low-skill labor in small labor markets.
