DESCRIPTION:Kai LI (University of British Columbia)\nWe contrast the unive
 rsalist and cultural perspectives on “good” corporate governance pract
 ices. Using a new database from Governance Metrics International featuring
  highly granular measures of corporate governance practices across a large
  number of countries for 2006-2011\, we find that the national cultural di
 mension of individualism is positively associated with accountability and 
 transparent disclosure\, and with corporate behavior standards\, and that 
 uncertainty avoidance is negatively associated with accountability and tra
 nsparent disclosure\, and with minority shareholder protection. Within cou
 ntries\, there is a largely positive association between firm-level “goo
 d” corporate governance practices and firm performance\; however\, acros
 s countries\, the association is largely negative.
