Lunch provided.

This seminar is based on the introductory chapter of The History of Modern U.S. Corporate Governance, a sourcebook Professor Cheffins is editing that will be published by Edward Elgar in 2011. Professor Cheffins will begin by introducing the topic of corporate governance, explaining in so doing how corporate governance relates to risk. He will then analyze how corporate governance has evolved in the U.S. between the 1970s, when the term corporate governance first came into vogue, and the present day. He will focus on the key mechanisms that potentially bolster managerial accountability in the U.S. system of corporate governance, namely the board of directors, executive pay, shareholder intervention and takeovers.
