Abstract: We examine how board ethnic ersity impacts executive pay‐to‐performance sensitivity. Using firm‐year observations in Australia for the period 2007–2017, we document that board ethnic ersity leads to higher executive pay‐to‐performance sensitivity. The finding is robust in controlling for endogeneity using instrumental variable regression analysis, as well as using modified measures of board ethnic ersity. We also document that the impact of board ethnic ersity on executive pay‐to‐performance sensitivity is more pronounced for firms suffering from high agency costs and when the CEO's ethnicity is different from that of the majority of the board. This study helps to inform the debate on the issue of board ethnic ersity in Australia.

Abstract: We examine the influence of board ethnic ersity on firms' corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities within modern day corporations. Using firm‐year observations in Australia from the period 2004–2017, we document that board ethnic ersity leads to better CSR performance and CSR disclosure. Our results suggest that for every additional ethnic cluster represented on the board, on average, a firm's CSR performance rating from ASSET4 is higher by 2.6% and the odds ratio of producing a CSR report increases by 38.8%. The results are robust to controlling for endogeneity (using both instrumental variable approach and difference‐in‐differences analysis) and alternate proxies to measure CSR performance and ethnic ersity. We also document the moderating impact of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) power on the relationship between board ethnic ersity and firms' CSR activities. Specifically, a less powerful CEO and a CEO of ethnic minority (i.e., non‐Anglo) are more likely to facilitate this relationship. This study adds to our understanding of how board ethnic ersity, an often‐overlooked factor in prior research, can have significant impacts on firm outcomes.

Abstract: We investigate whether in idual securities regulators exhibit personal styles in their work, a question of importance to corporate executives and capital market participants. Using the SEC's comment letters as our setting, we find that SEC staff members exhibit unique personal “styles.” We manually collect information on SEC staff members and provide evidence that staff members' personal characteristics influence the SEC's review process. Further analyses reveal that SEC staff members with a CPA qualification are associated with a lower likelihood of future accounting restatements moreover, similarity between the SEC staff member and the firm's correspondent is associated with lower scrutiny intensity. Overall, our study offers evidence that SEC staff members exhibit in idual differences and that their styles shape the SEC's enforcement actions. Our results offer implications for the working of securities regulators.
