Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The financial crisis revealed severe problems with corporate governance [1]. A number of recent challenges, such as the pandemic and inflation, introduced new issues to the realm of corporate governance and finance that society, governments, businesses, and individuals were not prepared for. This era of the “new normal” calls for evaluation of our previous strategies for addressing these challenges, as well as discussions about how to deal with ongoing issues such as high inflation and more frequent disruptions in the labour market.

This Special Issue will focus on corporate finance and corporate governance issues faced in the “new normal” and feature original research on how corporations have responded to previous challenges in the areas mentions, as well as challenges related to financing, governance, and financial management over the past decade.

We welcome empirical studies that discuss capital budgeting, capital financing, working capital management, board of directors, executive compensation, and any other aspect of business that our readers might find interesting.

Contributions that advance our understanding of environmental, social, and governance (ESG), equity, ethics, labour, stewardship, sustainability, and emerging technologies are especially welcome.

This paper reveals the impact of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) scores on systematic and downside risks in the Russian stock market. We analyze the influence of a broad set of ESG factors controlling for stock liquidity, financial indicators of companies, and macroeconomic indicators. The period under consideration is from 2013 to 2021. The methodology of our research is based on regression analysis with multiplicative variables to reveal the changes induced by the COVID-19 pandemic. We obtain several novel results. Social responsibility is one of the most significant non-fundamental factors influencing both systematic and downside risks. The most important environment-related component is the measure of a company’s propensity to environmental innovations. Some dimensions of stock liquidity are also significant. For some factors, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and debt burden, we find an unexpected direction of influence on liquidity. Full article

Access to credit for businesses is an unresolved issue, especially in developing countries and transition economies. There has been a lot of research exploring factors affecting firms’ credit accessibility. Particularly, factors related to borrowers and lenders are always placed under consideration. However, besides those factors, institutional elements could also play an important role in guiding companies’ operations. In countries where the economy lacks transparency and low-level development is limited, informal institutional factors can have potential impacts. In this paper, we focus on exploring the relationship between firm–government links and credit access, thereby offering managerial implications through utilizing cross-sectional data sets at the firm level, with an initial sample of 26,849 observations from 38 countries at different levels of development around the world. The results show a positive correlation of firm–government connection with credit access. Moreover, this relationship may vary depending on the market in which the business primarily operates. Specifically, firms working internationally are less influenced by links with governments and tend to rely more on their own characteristics and conditions. Full article
