AbstractThe existing corporate governance literature has mostly focused on micro-level studies of executive compensation, with limited attention paid to influential macro-level factors such as institutions and institutional changes and their impacts on corporate governance and performance. The implementation of the new compensation policy that restricts CEO compensation ceiling in state-owned firms in China offers an ideal context for us to study how institutional changes and firms’ adoption of these changes can influence CEO turnover and firm performance. Our empirical analyses reveal that the positive impact of new compensation policy adoption on CEO turnover is stronger for CEOs with originally higher compensation. The impact of new compensation policy adoption on firm performance, however, is negative, and the negative impact is contingent upon a firm’s market share and tech intensity. Our research contributes to the literature on corporate governance by theorizing and empirically demonstrating the critical role that institutions play in corporate governance.

While various theoretical arguments have been constructed that imply that a firm would see improved financial performance by increasing the proportion of women managers, previous studies on the issue, in Japan and elsewhere, have shown mixed results. Using data from Toyo Keizai and Nikkei NEEDS on 745 Japanese-listed companies, the authors investigate the impact of womens managerial participation and, more generally, overall workplace and managerial gender diversity on corporate performance. They find a robust significant positive relationship between firm performance and both female manager ratio and gender diversity, after controlling for industry, firm size, capital structure, corporate governance, and compensation policy. This relationship also exhibits substantial nonlinearity, with the benefit decreasing as the proportion of women managers or managerial gender diversity increases.

AbstractUsers of time and polar motion information have requirements for data which are somewhat different from those usually considered for astronomical data files. Because of these requirements, it is necessary to provide immediate access to the latest information on Earth orientation and even predictions of future orientation. For other applications where data of the highest accuracy is required with little concern for the delay between observations and the determination o f the required information, a more traditional approach may be used. To meet all of these needs a versatile automated data retrieval system is demanded. The U. S. Naval observatory is now implementinq such a system in the area of Earth orientation information and for precise time and time interval applications. Data are available through a series of weekly, monthly, and annual reports, as well as through a digital communications link to Time Service machine-readable files.
