Book Description
This paper documents the relationship between cross-listing and corporate governance of the largest European companies between 2000 and 2003. Companies with a U.S. cross-listing, and particularly those listed on a U.S. stock exchange had higher corporate governance ratings than companies without a U.S. cross-listing. Corporate governance advantage of the U.S. cross-listed firms holds if we control for the country of origin and other company characteristics, and it was more consistent in 2003 than in 2000, suggesting a possible impact of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The U.S. cross-listed firms had higher ratings not only in terms of disclosure but also in terms of board structure and functioning. In contrast, they had no advantage in terms of shareholders' rights and duties. The advantage of U.S. cross-listed firms can be traced back to at least a couple of years before the time of cross-listing, which leaves the question whether their superior corporate governance is the effect of U.S. cross-listing open. In contrast to the importance of cross-listing in the U.S., there is no significant relationship between corporate governance and cross-listing within Europe. Implications are drawn for the debate on bonding and the future of European stock markets.

Book Description
This paper questions the bonding hypothesis on cross-listing - namely, the idea that firms may want to list on a foreign stock market with a view to renting that market's superior corporate governance system. All too often, cross-listing studies are oblivious to the special structure of the U.S. regulatory regime, which governs foreign issuers. This paper highlights these features and provides a comprehensive survey of the extant empirical evidence. A critical review of this evidence reveals that an opposite, quot;avoiding hypothesisquot; more aptly describes firms' cross-listing behavior with regard to corporate governance issues. If anything, more stringent regimes deter issuers, and there is evidence that insiders behave opportunistically with regard to the cross-listing decision.

Book Description
We examine the impact of cross-listing on firm-specific information utilizing the unique features of the Chinese capital markets. By separating the trading activity of domestic Chinese investors from that of foreign non-Chinese investors, we are able to isolate each investor group's relative ability to impound firm-specific information into stock prices. We show that the cross-listed H-shares traded by foreign investors incorporate significantly more firm-specific information than their A-share counterparts traded by domestic Chinese investors. We find a similar pattern between H-shares and A-shares even after a 2007 regulatory change that allowed domestic Chinese investors to trade in the H-share market. This finding suggests that while institutional factors (e.g., stricter listing rules, stronger investor protection) can explain some of the benefits of cross-listing, foreign investors' ability to utilize firm-specific information plays a separate and distinct role in generating cross-listing benefits. The level of information improvement due to foreign investors depends on the quality of the cross-listed firm's corporate governance.

Book Description
The equity of Canadian-listed firms trades at a discount to U.S.-listed firms. This discount may be due to weaker corporate governance in Canada relative to the United States. Canadian firms may mitigate this discount by cross listing on a U.S. stock exchange. Results show that Canadian firms cross listed on a U.S. exchange achieve a higher valuation than firms listed exclusively in Canada, after controlling for factors known to affect valuation. Canadian firms that are predominantly traded in the U.S. receive similar valuations to other U.S.-listed firms, while cross listed Canadian firms with little U.S. turnover continue to trade at a discount.

This paper questions the bonding hypothesis on cross-listing - namely, the idea that firms may list on a foreign stock market with a view to renting that market's superior corporate governance system. A critical review of extant evidence reveals that an opposite, quot;avoiding hypothesisquot; more aptly describes firms' cross-listing behavior in this regard. The dominant factor in global cross-listing patterns appears to be informational distance, which comprises aspects of geographical and cultural distance. The greater the distance between an issuer's origin and destination markets the greater are the hurdles to utilizing the destination market's regulatory regime. Drawing on recent advances in psychological research, this paper concretizes the notion of cultural distance in the context of corporate governance. Potential effects of such distance are demonstrated using Korean corporate governance as a representative case of Confucian governance. The paper concludes with a discussion of home-market dominance in price formation processes of cross-listed stocks.

Book Description
This study investigates the economic consequences of cross-listing on the Chinese stock market. We argue that by adopting a higher disclosure standard through cross-listing firms voluntarily commit themselves to reducing information asymmetry. As a result, cross-listed firms are able to benefit from growth opportunities with less appropriated cash flow and lower cost of capital. The empirical evidence shows that cross-listed firms indeed command higher valuations than their non-cross-listed counterparts, after controlling for certain firm-specific attributes. This lends support to the corporate governance hypothesis of cross-listing on the Chinese stock market. The study also argues that an overall upgrading of accounting standards cannot substitute for the cross-listing mechanism.
