Linkage between Board Effectiveness and Quality of Corporate Governance: Indian Evidence

The paper provides an overview of the Indian corporate governance practices, based primarily on the responses to a survey conducted in 2008 among 50 Indian public limited listed companies. Constructing a broad Corporate Governance Quality Index (CGQI) and Board Effectiveness Index (BEI) for Indian public firms, the paper also documents a positive relationship between governance practices and board effectiveness. Apart from board effectiveness, corporate governance quality is largely influenced by the market valuation (measured in terms of Tobin’s Q) and the size of the firm.
