The Special Interest Race To Ceo Primacy And The End Of Corporate Governance Law., Steven A. Ramirez Aug 2012

The Special Interest Race To Ceo Primacy And The End Of Corporate Governance Law., Steven A. Ramirez

Steven A. Ramirez

Recently, many respected business leaders have voiced concern that corporate governance in American public companies has moved toward CEO primacy or a "dictatorshipo f the CEO," and away from traditional notions of shareholder primacy.

This is clearly reflected in key legal elements of corporate governance, which embrace increasing laxity. New empirical evidence also suggests that the trend of corporate governance is away from more demanding standards that seem to reduce agency costs and enhance financial and economic performance. The model that best …

Lessons From The Subprime Debacle: Stress Testing Ceo Autonomy, Steven A. Ramirez Mar 2009

This article seeks to reconfigure CEO autonomy in the public firm based upon the best extant empirical evidence regarding the optimal contours of CEO autonomy. This vision of optimal autonomy is then viewed through the lens of the subprime catastrophe. The article articulates the political dynamics that have led to suboptimal contours for …
