【Abstract】 This paper studies the relationship between the characteristics of board of directors and firm performance. Using ROE, EPS and EVA as measures of firm performance, the paper finds some interesting results in the sample of 396 companies listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange during the period 1999 - 2002. Firstly, small boards are associated with higher EPS and EVA but lower ROE. Secondly, there is a negative relation between the proportion of independent directors and firm performance. Thirdly, the annual number of board meeting is not related to EVA. Fourthly, China Securities Regulatory Commission promulgated a regulation requiring listed company to introduce independent directors in 2001. This paper present evidence that this policy strengthens’ the relationship between independent directors and firm performance. At last, CEO duality is associated with lower EVA but higher ROE and EPS, and CEO serving in boardroom has no effect on ROE and EVA.更多还原
