International Seminar on Analytical Research in Corporate Governance

In late November, DART’s Swiss partner network, DAR, organized a seminar on ‘Analytical Research in Corporate Governance’ held by Benjamin Hermalin (University of California, Berkeley). DART’s Christian Schmid, Anna Ressi, and Harald Hinterecker participated in the challenging sessions that provided great insights on state-of-the-art research in Corporate Governance. Among the topics covered were executive compensation, board composition, and information disclosure. It was especially helpful for young researchers to get an impression of how top researchers approach analytical research questions. During and outside the seminar sessions, Robert Göx (University of Zurich) and his team provided a perfect environment for discussing ideas with other participants of the seminar.
