Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to examine the impact of the corporate governance mechanism on firm performance. Previous research, largely conducted using international data, has suggested that better governed firms outperform poorer governed firms in a number of key areas. In this paper the authors studied the correlation between corporate governance and corporate performance on a representative sample on Bucharest Stock Exchange listed companies in Romania. Empirical study results are partially consistent with those of previous studies in the literature.
