ECGI Research

ECGI research projects in the field of Corporate Governance are initiated and overseen by the ECGI Research Committee. These projects should be of significant policy relevance as well as academic excellence.

The Committee identifies project members and leaders from the research membership of ECGI. Other academics can be involved as thought appropriate. It will receive research proposals and interim and final reports on projects and it will be provided with regular financial statements on projects.

ECGI Research Newsletter

The ECGI regularly publishes a Research Newsletter, focusing on a topical corporate governance issue and drawing on published papers in our Finance and Law Working Paper series. Each edition usually comprises a digest of the major themes from these papers, comments from leading academics and practitioners and a synopsis of a relevant book by one of our Research members.

A copy of each edition of the Newsletter is sent to all ECGI members and is subsequently be available in electronic form here on the ECGI website. We trust that you will find it informative, useful and enlightening in the ongoing corporate governance debate.

If you would like to be notified when the next edition of this Newsletter appears, add your name to our mailing list.
