THE IMPACT OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE ON FIRMS’ BETA: A PANEL ANALSIS ON BIST-LISTED FIRMS

Abstract

Investors need to be confident about collecting both the principal capital supplied to firm and its return in the future. There is an inverse relationship between investors’ confidence on firm and their expected return on the funds they provide for the use of firm. In international literature, there is an ample of empirical evidence that corporate governance ‒or good management practice in other words‒ helps firms lower their risk level, there are no such studies conducted on Turkish market. This study aims to test the validity of expectations that corporate governance helps firms lower their perceived degree of risk via an empirical investigation of Turkish market. For the purpose, a panel data analysis is conducted on a data set covering 2010-2015 period of firms listed in BIST Corporate Governance Index. In line with the literature, the findings show that an increase in corporate governance rating results in a decrease in firms’ beta. This carries an important implication that improvements in corporate governance may help firms lower their cost of funds by reducing firms’ beta.
