Corporate governance and operating efficiency performance: a comparison of traditional industry between Taiwan and China

本研究欲探討兩岸傳統產業公司治理與經營績效之關聯性，運用資料包絡分析法及Cummins, Weiss和Zi (1999)之交叉效率前緣評估比較2005至2009年兩岸公司之經營績效差異。並進一步採用縱橫資料迴歸模型分析兩岸傳統產業之公司治理機制與經營績效之關聯。 根據本研究實證結果顯示：首先，兩岸傳統產業分屬不同效率前緣，且大陸傳統產業之技術效率優於台灣傳統產業之技術效率。說明台灣傳統產業雖較中國傳統產業發展的時間點為早，不過由於台灣之傳統產業屬於早期赴中國投資的先驅，當時已將核心技術帶入中國，近年來中國傳統產業因內需龐大加上國家支持而發展迅速，無論在規模或產值上都遠遠超過台灣。而在公司治理機制中，大陸傳統產業公司國內機構法人持股率及國有股比例與其經營績效呈顯著顯著負向關係，和其他研究結果一致，而經理人持股率、國外機構法人持股率與獨立董事比例則與經營績效無顯著關聯；台灣傳統產業公司經理人持股率、國內機構法人持股率、國外機構法人持股率、董事淨持股率及獨立董事比例與公司之經營皆無顯著關聯。敏感性分析顯示與上述結果類似。The purpose of this paper is to examine and compare the relationship between corporate governance and efficiency performance of traditional industry(TI) in Taiwan and China. We apply data envelopment analysis and cross frointer analysis to measure and compare the performance difference between Taiwan and China. The research constructs a panel data regression model to examine the association between cooperate governance and efficiency performance for Taiwan and China, respectively. The empirical results are summarized as follow. First, the efficiency frontier of Taiwan and China are indeed different, and the cross frontier analysis reveals that the efficiency performance of Mainland China is better than that of Taiwan. The TI of Taiwan developed earlier than China and the early core competence development of Chians’s TI was transferred from Taiwan. However, due to the huge domestic demand and government’s strong support of China’s TI, today not only the size but also the value-added of TI, China is much larger than Taiwan. Second, the domestic institutional investor’s and the state-owned shareholdings are significantly correlated with the performance of companies in China. The management, foreign institutional investor’s shareholdings and the percentage of independent directors do not associate with the performance of China’s TI. Finally, the cooprate government variable are not associate with the performance of Taiwan’s TI
