Abstract
We identify well-governed companies by accounting for heterogeneity in their governance choices by using a unique dataset. We find that companies that depart from governance best practice because of genuine circumstances outperform all others and cannot be considered badly-governed. On the contrary, we find that mechanical adherence to best practice does not always lead to superior performance. We thus argue that flexibility in corporate governance regulation plays a crucial role, because companies are not homogenous entities.
