Corporate governance experiments

Corporate governance is a cross-disciplinary field concerned with the systems and rules that govern an organization. So far, the experimental finance literature has focused on governing structures that prevent self-dealing by management or insiders. In this chapter, I describe corporate governance and its key aspects that lend themselves to investigation in experimental finance, showcase seminal works in the field as illustrations of the power of experimental finance in shedding new light on old questions, and propose open questions and new directions for research in the field.
