New SSRN e-journal on Disclosure, Internal Control & Risk-Management

By Harvard Law School Program on Corporate Governance

The Corporate Governance Network (CGN) of SSRN recently launched a new e-journal on Disclosure, Internal Control & Risk-Management. This journal distributes abstracts of, and links to, selected recent working papers that deal with disclosure and accounting decisions, internal control systems, risk management including hedging and derivatives, and similar topics.

The journal collects abstracts on these topics from all new submissions to the entire SSRN database irrespective of discipline. It brings together contributions from accounting, economics, finance, law, management, sociology and psychology. Thus, this e-journal attempts to provide its readers with full exposure to all new papers related to its subject matter placed on SSRN.

Since its inception, the journal has distributed twenty-five issues of five to six papers each. Papers distributed in the last several weeks include:

• Chris Armstrong, Karthik Balakrishnan & Daniel Cohen, “Corporate Governance and the Information Environment: Evidence from State Antitakeover Laws”;
• T.J. Atwood, Michael Drake, James Myers & Linda Myers, “Do Earnings Reported Under IFRS Tell Us More About Future Earnings and Cash Flows?”
• Robert Bartlett, “Inefficiencies in the Information Thicket: A Case Study of Derivative Disclosures During the Financial Crisis”;
• Patrick Bolton, Hui Chen & Neng Wang, “Market Timing, Investment, and Risk Management”;
• Murillo Campello, Chen Lin, Yue Ma & Hong Zou, “The Real and Financial Implications of Corporate Hedging”;
• Andrew Ellul & Vijay Yerramilli, “Stronger Risk Controls, Lower Risk: Evidence from U.S. Bank Holding Companies”;
