Chicago Booth Professor Abbie Smith will explore how corporate behavior and performance vary in a predictable way with the behavior of top executives off the job.
Event Details
Professor Smith's corporate governance research examines "the CEO factor" in explaining firm behavior as manifested in the relationship between CEO lifestyle and corporate reporting, insider trading, risk management, bankruptcy, and social responsibility. Professor Smith's research and perspective are informed by her membership on a variety of boards, serving on audit, compensation, finance, and governance committees throughout her tenure.
