Abstract:
UD laws create procedural barriers for shareholders to file derivative claims against managers and directors who allegedly violate their fiduciary duties. The results show that for firms incorporated in states that pass UD laws, restrictions on shareholder litigation rights reduce directors incentives to control managers.
Keywords:
conditional conservatism; corporate governance; derivative lawsuits; litigation; monitoring demand; universal demand laws
