Abstract:
As an important internal mechanism of corporate governance, board of directors plays an important role in corporate governance. Using panel data of China’s 14 listed banks from 2006 to 2009, the authors make an empirical analysis of the relationship between board’s characteristics and bank performance. It indicates that independent directors and women directors have significant positive e effect on banks’ performance, while board size and the president serving as the general manager concurrently have negative effect on bank performance. The meeting of directorate has positive effect on bank performance, but the effect is not obvious.
