  • Abstract
    This paper examines empirically the effects of corporate governance on the performance of corporate R&D investment using the data on chinese listed companies data from 2003 to 2006. The results show that state control, the combination of CEO and board chairman positions, the largest shareholder holdings and institutional investors have significant effects on the performance of corporate R&D investment, but the proportion of outside directors and managerial shareholdings do not have significant effects.
