主 旨 / Outline

“Profitability or Business Stability? Cross-Country Variations in Corporate Performance”

Using the data of firms listed in the Fortune Global 500 from 1980 to 2016, we compare the performance of the world’s largest industrial corporations across 51 countries.
We focus on two dimensions of corporate performance: profitability and business stability.
We find significant variations in both profitability and business stability measures across countries.
We also find that profitability and business stability measures are related to country-level institutional factors: financial system, law, and national cultures.
These results suggest that a country’s formal and informal institutions significantly affects a firm’s objectives, behavior, and performance.
