Outline of Research at the Start

本研究課題では,(1)企業毎に異なる情報開示の内容が株主総会での議決権行使結果に与える影響,(2)財務・非財務情報を用いた契約の存在が議決権行使結果に与える影響,の2点に関する実証分析を行う。機関投資家の開示資料も活用し,議決権行使に関して可能な限り詳細なデータセットを作成し,パネルデータを用いた分析を行う。得られた成果は,国際査読誌に投稿する予定である。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

The achievements of the research are as follows. First, I conducted empirical analysis on the effect of shareholder proposals for payout policy in Japan. For this paper, I gave presentations in refereed international conference. Now I prepare for the submission of this article to peer-reviewed international academic journals. Second, my joint work on the effect of stock liquidity on cash holdings in Japan has been published as a pre-registered report in Pacific-Basin Finance Journal (the peer-reviewed international journal). Third, I have written the draft of a new research idea on the determinants and consequences of general reserve accumulation in Japanese firms, which is a matter to be resolved in shareholders' meeting under Japanese Companies Act.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の目的は,上場企業によるディスクロージャーと株主総会での議決権行使を通じた株主のガバナンスとの関係について明らかにすることにある。株主の議決権行使がもたらす企業行動への含意については,近年のガバナンス改革を経て関心が高まっている反面,株式売買の行動等に比べ経験的証拠の蓄積が乏しい。特に,議決権行使を「情報開示」という枠組みから分析した研究は極めて少ない。
