Abstract

Purpose: The aim of the study was to examine the corporate governance and firm performance: a cross-country analysis.

Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.

Findings:  Financial regulations in Germany impact market liquidity through a complex interplay of factors. While they enhance stability and investor protection, compliance costs and altered trading dynamics may initially hinder liquidity. However, regulatory initiatives driving innovation and global harmonization can ultimately foster a more efficient market environment, benefiting both domestic and international

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Agency theory, stewardship theory & institutional theory may be used to anchor future studies on the corporate governance and firm performance: a cross-country analysis. The study should provide practical recommendations for firms and corporate boards to enhance their corporate governance practices based on empirical findings. The study should inform policymakers and regulatory authorities about the implications of corporate governance regulations on firm performance and market competitiveness.
