Labor empowerment in corporate boards: The devil is in the details
In 2013, mandatory worker representation on French corporate boards was enacted. We examine the way employee directors have been incorporated within the board machinery. Our empirical results indicate that employee representatives have a limited access to board committees. This result casts doubt on the ability of employee directors to significantly influence corporate governance. Consistent with this analysis, we do not find any significant impa…
Don't Downsize This! Social Reactions to Mass Dismissals on Twitter
We study social reactions on Twitter to job destructions. We use information on large‐scale restructuring events announced in the United Kingdom from 2013 to 2018. We match it with data on the number and sentiments of the tweets involving the company name posted around the time of the announcement. We show that job destruction announcements elicit numerous, strongly negative reactions, four times larger than the positive reactions to job creation…
Gender equality within boards: Comparing quota and soft law
Heavy is the crown: CEOs’ social interactions and layoff decisions
We develop a theory of non-monetary costs incurred by chief executive officers (CEOs) when deciding about layoffs and test its predictions on French data. Our results support the idea that, being embedded in their social environment, CEOs find it more difficult to fire employees closer to their own workplace. This effect is stronger whenever social interactions are less anonymous in the CEOs’ local environment. It is weaker when CEOs live further…
Escaping social pressure: Fixed-term contracts in multi-establishment firms
Industrial relations and adjustments to the crisis: A comparative micro‐statistical analysis of France and Great Britain
In this comparative study, the authors analyse the relationships between industrial relations and workforce or wage adjustments in response to the 2007–08 crisis, using two highly comparable establishment‐level surveys conducted in Great Britain (WERS) and France (REPONSE) in 2010–12. Notwithstanding contextual differences in the countries’ productive systems and the timing and impact of the crisis, the relationships between industrial relations …
Relations sociales et ajustements à la crise: Une analyse microstatistique comparative franco‐britannique
Dans cette étude comparative sur la France et la Grande‐Bretagne, les auteurs analysent les liens entre relations professionnelles et ajustements (des effectifs et des salaires) face à la crise de 2007–2008, en s'appuyant sur deux enquêtes au niveau des établissements, fortement comparables, l'une britannique (WERS), l'autre française (REPONSE), collectées en 2010–2012. Malgré des contextes différents (composition du tissu productif, temporalité …
Dictionnaire des conventions: Autour des travaux d’Olivier Favereau
Comment penser l'économie autrement ? Depuis trente ans, des chercheurs de différentes disciplines participent au développement d’une économie des conventions qui construit une nouvelle représentation de l’économie. Les 75 auteurs réunis dans cet ouvrage fournissent un éclairage exceptionnel sur cette approche à partir des travaux de l’un de ses principaux artisans, Olivier Favereau. Plus que tout autre économiste, il a œuvré tout au long de sa c…
Working in Family Firms: Paid Less but More Secure? Evidence from French Matched Employer-Employee Data
The authors study compensation packages in family-owned and nonfamily-owned firms. Using French matched employer-employee data, they first show that family firms pay on average lower wages. Part of this wage gap is attributable to low-wage workers sorting into family firms and high-wage workers sorting into nonfamily firms; however, they also find evidence that company wage policies differ according to ownership status, so that the same worker is…
Revitalizing the institutional roots of Anglo-American corporate governance
Over the past three decades, the topic of corporate governance has become an increasingly high-profile aspect of social-scientific scholarship, in both the Anglo-Saxon world and continental Europe. To a significant extent, however, the conceptual boundaries of the corporate governance debate have been set narrowly in accordance with the logic and language of the dominant 'agency' paradigm of governance. According to agency theory, the central pro…
Les entreprises cotées ont-elles pour seule responsabilité de servir l'intérêt de leurs actionnaires
La montée en puissance des fonds d’investissement et de pension a ravivé les controverses sur la responsabilité et la gouvernance des firmes cotées. Le modèle actionnarial défend le principe selon lequel les dirigeants et les administrateurs doivent servir l’intérêt des seuls actionnaires. Si cette logique produit des externalités négatives, la réglementation publique doit les limiter. A contrario, le modèle partenarial développe une conception p…
Les fondements microéconomiques de la valeur actionnariale: Une revue critique de la littérature
Les débats sur la gouvernance d’entreprise ont consacré la valeur actionnariale comme modèle dominant. Pourtant, les fondements microéconomiques et normatifs de ce modèle sont rarement explicités. Cet article propose une mise en perspective critique des différentes approches qui, s’appuyant sur les théories incitatives de la firme, cherchent à se saisir de la répartition du pouvoir dans les grandes entreprises. Sont ainsi passées en revue la Théo…
Governance d'entreprise et théorie de la firme. Quelle(s) alternative(s) à la valeur actionnariale ?
This article considers the normative conclusions in corporate governance matters of different theories of the firm. The transactional approach of the structure of powerin public companies, based on Williamson's seminal work (1985), is first assessed. If shareholder sovereignty is rejected in its most radical version, the exclusive control of stockholders is sup-ported. We then focus on theories of the firm that emphasise the cognitive rather than…
European Style of Corporate Governance at the Crossroads
This article examines the basic principles of the continental European style of corporate governance, and its evolution in the context of the globalization of financial markets. By stressing the role of worker involvement, shareholder value, as an (economic) theory of the firm, as a practice and as an ideology, is critically assessed. Also, the thesis of national models’ convergence is rejected, in favour of an approach rooted in ‘institutional c…
