Featured Papers in Corporate Finance and Governance

Dear Colleagues,

Corporate finance is a subfield of finance that focuses on the financial decisions adopted by corporations and the various methods they use to raise capital for investments, operations, and expansion. The three primary elements of corporate finance are working capital management, capital planning, and capital financing. Its main goal is to optimize risk and profitability while maximizing shareholder value. Corporate governance is the term used to describe the policies, guidelines, and processes that control how an organization operates. It is an assurance that the company will maintain diversity, accountability, equity, and transparency. Corporate finance and governance have close ties, with finance focusing on asset management, while governance provides ethical and strategic guidance. A company’s financial health and accountability are powered by its mutually beneficial partnership.

Submissions on a broad range of theoretical and empirically oriented topics are very welcome, including but not limited to the drivers of firm performance, liquidity, cash flow, risk, dividend policy, capital structure, effective tax rate, or the effects of various corporate governance mechanisms on value creation in different company types in a national or international context.
