Abstract

Corporate governance (CG) is a system by which firms are directed and controlled. Through its mechanisms, it ensures optimal levels of efficiency, exploits opportunities, and prevents conflicts of interest between directors, shareholders, and stakeholders. The studies do show a positive relationship between CG and performance, but they are conducted in developed countries with stable legal and economic environments. Thus, CG contributes to the value creation (VC) of the firms. But in family firms, the concentration of power resulting from the overlapping of its subsystems (family, business, and ownership) influences the functioning of CG, and probably, VC. Setting goals, monitoring results, or controlling performance can be some of its forms. But we do not know the influence in emerging countries.
The aim of the study is to empirically analyze the financial contribution of CG mechanisms to the VC of listed family firms in a Latin American economy. The results show the importance of the size of the board of directors, the participation of independent directors, and the duality of the chief executive officer. All the latter are important, considering the high representation of the family firms, their traditional concentration of power, the level of legal or regulatory weakness level, the uncertainty and instability of market conditions. The study is relevant due to the lack of evidence in emerging markets.
