摘要:This study examines the impact of board composition and risk management on corporate performance in the Taiwanese life insurance industry. In terms of board composition variables, the CEO/chairperson duality is associated with lower corporate performance. Insurers with higher percentages of independent directors on their boards tend to have better corporate performance. However, the higher percentage of supervisors on the board is associated with lower corporate performance. Evidence shows that the corporate performance of insurers with risk management does not change compared with that of insurers without risk management, when controlling for board composition characteristics. An examination of the impact of government regulations on corporate performance indicates that insurers do not show significant changes when controlling for board composition and risk management variables. Overall results also show that board composition variables affect corporate performance. Finally, this study concludes that an insurer can control its corporate performance through corporate governance mechanism.
