Abstract :

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between corporate governance and capital formation using the financial development channel. According to the investigations, it was found that the direct impact of corporate governance on capital formation is unclear. The analysis of the data showed that corporate governance through the financial development channel can have an effect on capital formation, which, of course, is different in countries, and the reason for that is the different level of development of countries in attracting capital and investors. In this study, the data of 98 countries, including 67 countries in which investor protection is strong and 31 countries in which investor protection is weak during the years 2005-2020, were used in the form of Panel-GMM method. The results of the surveys showed that corporate governance in countries with a low level of investor protection has a positive and significant effect on capital formation, and improving corporate governance improves capital formation. But this relationship has not been significant for countries with a high level of investor protection. Also, financial development in both groups of countries had a positive and significant impact on capital formation, but its impact was greater in countries with weak support. Also, the results of the financial development survey in more detail showed that the financial development of markets improves capital formation in countries; But the financial development of institutions does not affect the improvement of capital formation.
