  • 本篇論文在探討公司治理是否會影響股票購回對於現金流量之敏感性。本篇研究廣泛地放入多個公司治理變數,包含董事會規模、獨立董事、董事會開會次數、經理人持有股數、經理人薪酬、股東權力強弱、股東表決權和負債比率。資料以2002年至2009年美國上市公司為樣本。
    結果發現除了經理人薪酬變數不顯著外,其餘的公司治理變數如:董事會規模、獨立董事、董事會開會次數、經理人持有股數、股東表決權和負債比率都呈顯著正相關。而股東權力強弱則為顯著負相關。
    整體來說,實證結果支持公司治理好的公司將在公司持有較多的現金流量時較願意作股票購回。

    This thesis investigates whether corporate governance affects the sensitivity of stock repurchase to cash flow. A spectrum of variables such as board size, board independence, number of meetings, managerial ownership, management remuneration, the strength of shareholder’ rights, shareholder’s voting power, and leverage ratio are used to measure corporate governance. The sample size is derived from the period 2002 to 2009 in the US market. With the exception of management remuneration, other corporate governance variables such as board size, board independence, number of meetings, managerial ownership, shareholders’ voting power, and leverage ratio have significant and positive relation with the sensitivity of stock repurchase to cash flow. High Governance Index (poor governance) has significant negative relation with the sensitivity of stock repurchase to cash flow. Overall, the findings support the premise that companies with good corporate governance repurchase stock more when these corporations have larger amount of excess cash flow.
