Corporate Governance: Data and Technology

Corporate governance is a set of processes, customs, policies, laws, and institutions affecting the way a corporation is directed, administered, or controlled. Technology is quickly reshaping every aspect of it, and also provides new opportunities to researchers in the field. This lecture will cover a selected few most direct implications of technology (e.g., blockchain, alternative data, and AI), including mutability of record keeping and enforcement, redistribution of information rents between insiders and outsiders, and limits of machine-driven insights for decision making.
