SPECIAL ISSUE ON INTERNATIONAL CORPORATE GOVERNANCE:
Guest Editors: Emanuele Bajo, University of Bologna (IT), David Hillier, University of Strathclyde (UK)

With the relative decline of the US economy compared to the growth of China, India, Brazil and other emerging markets, interest has grown regarding the different ways companies are governed across the world. Family firms, state shareholders, multiple large stockholders, political links, and alternative financing options are all facets of international business where research is needed. Consequently, we solicit papers that are in any area of international corporate governance.

TOPICS: Possible paper topics include, but are not limited to:
- The effects of governance reform in countries
- The role of directors and non-executive directors
- Executive compensation
- Board diversity
- Product market competition and corporate governance
- The impact of political connections and state shareholders on firm performance
- How multiple large shareholders affect corporate strategy
- Family firms
- Informal financing
- The effect of governance on managerial decisions, firm performance or value

PAPER SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: Papers must be submitted electronically from November 1, 2013 to January 31, 2014 at the following web page address: http://jfmi.univpm.it/index.php/jfmi/user/register
