Abstract

This study tests the moderating effect of public governance on the association between corporate governance and stock market development. The sample size was 540 country-year records (54 countries × 10 years), and GMM and Threshold regression analysis were run. The findings confirm that corporate governance is a significant predictor of stock market development in terms of both size and liquidity. Stock markets develop with strong auditing and reporting standards, strong shareholder protection, and efficient corporate boards. Moderation effect analyses indicate that corporate governance and public governance are sometimes substitutes and sometimes complement each other depending on the type of stock market development proxy. The complementary effect implies that corporate governance and public governance should co-exist, whereas substitutive effect suggests that corporate governance is influential and sufficient in case of weak public regulatory quality. Policymakers can configure regulatory framework, corporate governance codes and market-related regulations to stimulate investment in stock markets.
