In this paper, we examine the extent to which changes in the rules of corporate governance, imposed by law, might allow greater weight to be given, in the decision making of actors in financial markets, to longer term objectives such as the protection of the environment and the reduction of inequalities in the distribution of wealth. We believe that the concern with short-termism in contemporary financial market s is amply justified, and that the growing relevance and spread of short-termism is due to certain identifiable factors, that we explore and discuss. Our thesis is that the involvement of a wider range of stakeholders in the decision-making of financial market actors (including professional investors and investee companies) can mitigate the negative effects of these factors.
Il lavoro indaga la misura in cui modifiche legislative delle norme di corporate governance potrebbero consentire maggiore considerazione, da parte degli attori operanti sui mercati finanziari, di obiettivi di lungo termine come la protezione dell’ambiente o la riduzione delle disuguaglianze economiche. Noi riteniamo che la preoccupazione per il diffondersi del fenomeno dello short-termism pienamente giustificata e che la crescente rilevanza e diffusione dello short-termism dovuta all’operare di certi identificabili fattori che indichiamo e discutiamo. La nostra tesi che il coinvolgimento di una variet di stakeholder nel processo decisionale degli attori dei mercati finanziari (compresi gli investitori professionali e le societ destinatarie degli investimenti) pu mitigare i negativi effetti di questi fattori.

Abstract
In this paper, we examine the extent to which changes in the rules of corporate governance, imposed by law, might allow greater weight to be given, in the decision making of actors in financial markets, to longer term objectives such as the protection of the environment and the reduction of inequalities in the distribution of wealth. We believe that the concern with short-termism in contemporary financial market s is amply justified, and that the growing relevance and spread of short-termism is due to certain identifiable factors, that we explore and discuss. Our thesis is that the involvement of a wider range of stakeholders in the decision-making of financial market actors (including professional investors and investee companies) can mitigate the negative effects of these factors.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
