While corporate governance may not dictate the economic prospects of developing countries, it certainly plays an integral role in shaping them. This Note contains a detailed analysis of the corporate-governance architecture of one such developing country, India, from its independence in 1947 to the present. The results are surprising: India's corporate-governance framework is sophisticated for a developing country. However, considerable room remains for improvement. This Note presents a series of suggestions designed to improve corporate governance in India. Most notably, India must reform how its boards of directors function, improve its enforcement mechanisms, redefine its corporate laws, and embrace corporate governance as a philosophy.

Revelations of fraud at Indian outsourcing firm Satyam Computer Services have raised questions over the strength of corporate governance among that nation's companies, highlighting a challenge facing HR as the profession evolves there. Yet the problems at Satyam, once ranked by Hewitt Associates as the second-best employer in India and the third-best by Mercer, reveals an opportunity for HR leaders there to take a larger role in how a corporation is governed. The current global economic uncertainty makes the need for corporate governance in India all the more pressing, as problems at one company can easily infect whole economies.

I examine several possible explanations for why Infosys' Depositary Receipts (DRs) trade at significant premiums to the equivalent underlying domestic shares. I find that a limited supply of DRs and a downward-sloping demand curve, significant transaction costs associated with investing directly in the domestic market, and trend-chasing by smaller and potentially uninformed investors partly explain the DR premiums. I also examine the wealth effects of non-capital raising secondary depositary receipt offerings by Infosys Technologies and find significant wealth transfers from existing DR holders to selling domestic shareholders who are comprised significantly of Infosys' founders.

Critics are already pointing fingers at Pricewaterhouse, the audit firm that inspected Satyam?s books and gave the company clean audit reports. (Pricewaterhouse is the Indian subsidiary of PricewaterhouseCoopers.) Most say there is simply no way a Big 4 auditor would not attempt to verify Satyam?s cash balances.

Most of the study of causal relationship of GDP or growth with Trade and Foreign Direct Investment in the context of India rely on cross country comparisons, or simple correlations/regressions disregarding nonstationarity properties. Some papers which consider time series properties depend on VAR or VECM or Johansen-Juselius cointegration technique which is shown to suffer from potential pretest biases, influence of nuisance parameters and asymptotic unreliability. The pitfalls of these techniques especially considering the uncertainty in ascertaining the order of cointegration of the variables in the system have been well documented in the literature and also briefly mentioned in this paper. Therefore, this study employs the more recent and robust ARDL bound testing approach suggested ...
