The fraction of funds that robo-voted increased until around 2013 and then stabilized at the current level. Despite the sizable …

Part I of this Essay discusses the shortcomings of shareholder primacy and stakeholder governance, arguing that neither of these modes of governance provides an adequate framework for incentivizing corporations to do good. …
