May, 2010 Stine Ludvigsen ii Abstract Since the late 1990s, the corporate governance of state-owned companies (SOCs) has moved to the forefront of the political agenda in several Western European countries and elsewhere. Triggered by large corporate scandals, international corporate governance developments, and the recurring criticism of state ownership administration, we have seen political attempts to cope with issues of firm monitoring and control. Among the governance issues which have received the most attention are board appointments (who should serve as chairmen of SOC boards?), chief executive compensation contracts (how much should top managers be paid, and should incentive schemes be included in the compensation contracts?), and dividend payments (how much dividends should be extracted from SOCs?). In this thesis, I offer a comprehensive treatment of these issues insofar as I provide both thorough descriptive accounts and rigorous statistical analyses of the factors which might explain governance decisions. The empirical investigation draws on data from a broad sample of SOCs in the two Scandinavian countries of Norway and Sweden over the period 2000-2005. From a theoretical perspective, the question of what happens to governance decisions in the case of state ownership relates to the motivation of key decision-makers (i.e., incumbent politicians and corporate directors). Probing the political economics and corporate governance literatures on this very issue, the thesis distinguishes between three models of government- owner motivation: Politicians care about creating a favourable reputation as professional representatives of shareholder welfare (reputation motive); maintaining their popularity among voters so as to keep their positions (re- election motive); or implementing their preferred party-policy (ideology motive). In a similar vein, corporate directors care about their reputation as competent representatives of the shareholder electorate (reputation motive), but also their prospects of being re-elected to current board seats (re-election motive). Moreover, I add to these models some institutional features and firm characteristics, which makes for a more realistic picture of governance decision-making. While, in the area of SOC board appointments, theoretical ideas and actual practice seem in fact disassociated, the empirical results suggest that the governance models framing the explanation of CEO compensation contracts and dividend payments capture important aspects of reality. Indeed, the empirical findings provide support for both the reputation and the re-election model. In all three studies, the results are also sensitive to the institutional system and national context within which SOCs operate. The results have iii important implications for public policy and practice insofar as the scope for political influence seems to produce governance decisions which are possibly not conducive to efficiency. iv Table of Contents Chapter 1 Introduction ............................................................................................ 1 1.1 The Broad Plan of the Thesis................................................................................ 3 1.2 Contributions to Research .................................................................................... 5 1.3 Theoretical Foundations ....................................................................................... 8 1.3.1 Why do we need corporate governance? ................................................ 10 1.3.2 Which governance mechanisms? ........................................................... 13 1.3.3 What motivates politicians? ................................................................... 15 1.3.4 Some final remarks on the notion of self-interests ................................. 17 1.4 What is a State-owned Company? ...................................................................... 17 1.5 A Comment on Omitted Variables ..................................................................... 19 1.6 The Structure of the Thesis ................................................................................. 20 Chapter 2 What Motivates Politicians and Corporate Directors to Engage in Corporate Governance? ......................................................................................... 22 2.1 The Motivational Concerns of Politicians .......................................................... 23 2.1.1 The reputation model ............................................................................. 24 2.1.2

  • State Owned Enterprises and the Principle of Competitive Neutrality 2009
    State Owned Enterprises and the Principle of Competitive Neutrality 2009 The OECD Competition Committee debated the application of competition rules to state owned enterprises and the principle of competitive neutrality in October 2009. This document includes an executive summary, a background note and an issues paper by Mr. Antonio Capobianco for the OECD and country contributions from Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Czech Republic, European Commission, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, India, Indonesia, Korea, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Chinese Taipei, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States and BIAC, as well as two aides memoires for the discussions. Due to their privileged position SOEs may negatively affect competition and it is therefore important to ensure that, to the greatest extent possible consistent with their public service responsibilities, they are subject to similar competition disciplines as private enterprises. Although enforcing competition rules against SOEs presents enforcers with particular challenges, competition rules should, and generally do, apply to both private and state-owned enterprises, subject to very limited exceptions. Competition law alone is not sufficient in ensuring a level playing field for SOEs and private enterprises, which is why policies aimed at achieving competitive neutrality between the two play an essential role. Competitive neutrality can be understood as a regulatory framework (i) within which public and private enterprises face the same set of rules and (ii) where no contact with the state brings competitive advantage to any market participant. Presence of competitive neutrality policies is of particular importance in recently liberalised sectors, where they play a crucial role in leveling the playing field between former state monopoly incumbents and private entrants.

  • 6 the Making of Gender Quotas for Corporate Boards in Norway
    Mari Teigen 6 The Making of Gender Quotas for Corporate Boards in Norway The gender quota reform for corporate boards, first adopted in Norway in 2003 and fully implemented from 2008, has had great repercussions. A wave of diffusion of corporate board quota legislation has swept across Europe, and some other parts of the world (Fagan et al., 2012; Teigen, 2012a and b; Armstrong & Walby, 2012; Terjesen & Lorenz, 2014).1 In Norway, as an effect of the reform, the presence of women in corporate boards has increased dramatically over the last 10 years – and gender balance is evolving in other countries, especially in those where gender balance policies have been introduced for corporate boards (EWL report, 2012). This chapter departs from the ongoing European processes of gender quotas for corporate boards being in the making, takes a step back and analyzes the starting point: the making of gender quotas for corporate boards in Norway. This reform constitutes an innovative, however at first controversial, legal regulation. No other country had prior to Norway even considered to regulate the gender composition of corporate boards. To some extent gender quotas for corporate boards are at odds with the Norwegian industrial relation system, with its relatively clear boundaries for state interventions in the governing of private capital. Thus on the one hand, the introduction of gender quotas for corporate boards breaks with the established institutionalization of relations between employers, employees and the state. On the other hand, gender quotas for corporate boards constitute an enlargement of the relatively strong gender equality institution in Norway.
