Stock Market Valuation of R&D Expenditure and Corporate Governance

초록

영어

This paper examines whether firms with more research and development (R&D) expenditure earn higher return when they have good corporate governance. After controlling for many asset pricing factors in the existing literature, such as size, book-to-market ratio, momentum, asset growth, accruals, and abnormal capital expenditure, we find that R&D-intensity firms indeed earn higher stock returns when they experience well-established corporate governance. This finding suggests that good governance is able to prevent potential overinvestment in R&D spending and thereby increase the rate of returns on R&D spending firms. Namely, R&D strategy, in terms of buying well governance R&D investing firms, is more effective in well-governed firms.
