Corporate Governance
Abstract
After a long hiatus, the study of corporate governance has recently enjoyeda revival, but few points of consensus have emerged. Political differences are sometimes responsible for this impasse,' but failure to address the economics of corporate governance in microanalytic terms is also a factor. Lacking a framework that permits detailed analysis of transactions among the various constituencies of the corporation-labor, owners, suppliers, customers, the community and management-commentators have presented their arguments at such a high level of generality that an assessment of the merits of the alternative positions is very difficult. This Article is meant to address that shortcoming. The focus throughout is on publicly held corporations in the manufacturing sector.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
