description The author surveys a vast body of literature devoted to evaluating the relationship between corporate governance and performance as measured by valuation, operating performance, or stock returns. Most of the evidence to date suggests a positive association between corporate governance and various measures of performance.

There is no consensus yet on the nature of the endogeneity in governance–performance studies and in this survey the author proposes an approach to resolve it.
