Amihud and Stoyanov (2016) (AS2016) contests these findings, reporting some specifications under which the results are not statistically significant. We show that the results retain their significance under a wide array of robustness tests that address the concerns expressed by AS2016. Our empirical findings reinforce the conclusions of CW2013.en-USgoverning and advisory boardscorporate governancevalueReexamining staggered boards and shareholder valueJournal Article2017-08-18
