Abstract

This paper examines the effects of internal corporate governance arrangements on emerging markets' firm performance. Unlike most literature on the topic, we study both normal and crisis periods. Using 176 Mexican companies as case study, we find through a random effects panel data model significant outcome differences, according to corporate governance characteristics. In general, bank links represent negative governance schemes, while having family ties, belonging to business groups, and being export-oriented constitute positive governance mechanisms. Nonetheless, these conclusions are not robust during all periods. For instance, during normal episodes having group affiliation weakens performance, while the contrary is found during crisis times.
