Corporate governance and subjective well-being

  • M. Çule
  • M. E. Fulton

Abstract

The results from a cross-country empirical analysis show that corporate governance and ethics are linked to national scores of subjective well-being. This impact is over and above the effect that corporate governance has on national income, suggesting that people value corporate governance for additional reasons besides its economic impact.
