Corporate Governance Research
The ICG has a substantial research mission and its faculty collectively research and benchmark trends and best practices in corporate governance. The ICG is dedicated to empirical research, relying on compelling and innovative protocols, with clear application to practice.
The ICG's reputation on the research dimension is underscored by its exposure in the top-tier journals in the field as well as academic and industry conferences worldwide. Not only does the ICG produce research of the highest quality, it encourages and enables such research. Accordingly, the ICG sponsors competitive research grant programs for faculty members and doctoral students engaged in corporate governance research. The ICG is particularly interested in research addressing areas of ongoing debate in corporate governance. Contemporary examples of Institute faculty members' activities of this sort include the recent Editorships of two special issues, "Governance Through Ownership: Centuries of Practice, Decades of Research" and "Corporate Governance: Decades of Dialogue and Data" in the leading journals in the field.
