Publications Database

Welcome to the new Schulich Peer-Reviewed Publication Database!

The database is currently in beta-testing and will be updated with more features as time goes on. In the meantime, stakeholders are free to explore our faculty’s numerous works. The left-hand panel affords the ability to search by the following:

  • Faculty Member’s Name;
  • Area of Expertise;
  • Whether the Publication is Open-Access (free for public download);
  • Journal Name; and
  • Date Range.

At present, the database covers publications from 2012 to 2020, but will extend further back in the future. In addition to listing publications, the database includes two types of impact metrics: Altmetrics and Plum. The database will be updated annually with most recent publications from our faculty.

If you have any questions or input, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Abstract By introducing diversity of ownership interests via “mixed-ownership reform”, China seeks to alleviate internal governance problems in state-owned enterprises (SOEs), enhancing their efficiency and competitiveness. Private strategic partners invest for a large minority stake, with government typically retaining a majority share and influence. Resulting questions related to strategic leadership and corporate governance, addressed in this paper from the perspective of principal-agent theory, include: To what extent do the board chairs of SOEs affect their financial performance? How is this relationship impacted by the institutional changes induced by mixed-ownership reform? Do these effects vary between SOEs operating in competitive and monopolistic industries? Analyzing data on Shanghai- and Shenzhen-listed SOEs from 2008 to 2017 using the multilevel linear model (MLM) method, we determine that board chairs have a noticeable effect on financial performance, varying by type of SOE, and that mixed-ownership reform reduces their impact.
